Sweet Message from Zofia McHugh

HAPPY (no) TURKEY DAY!!!! gobble gobble..................

I love all the great halloween pics! I must admit that John and I didn't get Aileen out to get candy (John doesn't each sweets and God knows I don't need it!) but at least we got her in her costume.

If anyone is interested, John and I are hosting Thanksgiving at our house in Annapolis---everyone is welcome to witness my first attempt at cooking a turkey! We'll start around 3 pm, so just let me know and we'll set a place for you!

All the best always,

Love,

Katie, John, Aileen and Murphy (he's been feeling a little ignored lately so we're trying to make sure he knows that he's still part of the family)

I'm sorry AJ was unable to don his chicken suit for this picture, but Molly the Mummy Queen and Bridget the Pirate had friends join them for the festivities. Evan hated the whole thing, including his Thomas the Train costume, so he went as "Linus" with blankie and thumb sucking. Sadly Molly & Bridget didn't even know who Linus was, pointing clearly to our failures as parents. We are ashamed. Evan did recover once he realized there was candy involved, and that he would be riding in the red wagon, while Kendra rode in style in the Addams family style pram...we were quite a sight. I went as myself, the witch...should be no surprise to anyone who has been around our house at homework time!!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN

Happy Halloween from the DC McHugh's!

Zofia Alma McHugh

Hello ya'll........well, we happily have a baby blog to send along to ya. Zofia was born at 5am on friday september 28th (i was secretly hoping for nani's birthday the day before) 6lbs 130z and almost 19" short. she is a healthy, cute little sucker and a sweet baby all around-----that description is colorfully inspired by sleep deprivation. i just snapped this picture of her crashing out on the couch before i started this post. mama is doing great and is enjoying the pleasures of sweet cuddles and successful breast feeding. let's make a plan to all be at the beach next summer! wishing you all the best-----

I think I promised these ages ago, but here are some pics of our house and pup. His name is Donner after Donner Lake/Summit in the Tahoe area.

Cole & McHugh Kids

Above is a recent photo of Megs four together with my two. From the left, Molly holding Colin, Kyle, Evan, and Bridget holding Kendra. We're eagerly expecting the seventh addition to this side of the clan with Bobby & Lisa's girl next month.

Where/when should we have a reunion in 2008? We could have it at Rehoboth or perhaps a site in Rock Creek Park (Courtney & I would be big fans of Rock Creek since we live nearby :-)

Hope you all are well.
