Last Day of School Fun!

St. Mike's finished the school year today with the annual talent show. Cole, Brady, Cassidy, and a few of their friends performed "Witchdoctor" as Alvin & the Chipmunks. (Dylan wasn't in it because she graduated from St. Michael last night and is far too mature to participate in such juvenile antics.) We could have used a few more practices, but their makeup was awesome, courtesy of Marlene, who, by the way, almost got sent to the principal's office in the process...go figure. Kelsey also performed in 2 acts, including a solo. Post to follow if Laura consents:)

Garage Sale!

In case anyone's coming by Lakeville next weekend, thought I'd let you guys know I'm having a garage sale. A HUGE garage sale. Featuring stuff from me, my dad, Tara & Kevin, my brother John, and my sister Ryann.

2010 Corrigan Family Reunion

We've (except Greg for some reason...just kidding) all been invited to the bi-annual Corrigan reunion in Olympia, Washington at cousin Sharon Corrigan Fasnacht's house on Saturday, August 7.

Sharon has contacted Corrigan cousins in Canada, and they will be there. The reunion is to celebrate the family of the 11 Corrigan children, including the 5 Corrigan brothers - Hugh, Patrick, James (Mom/Gram's grandfather), Michael and Henry (Hank). Attached is a picture of the 5 brothers (in left to right order listed earlier).

I also have a flyer about the reunion and also an interesting genealogy paper about our Canada links. I have to figure out how to post PDF files - Holli?

Cousin Sharon also added a personal note for us: "I'm sure your mom's in heaven. She's have to be after baby-sitting for my big sister and me, just a few years ago (1940s?). Hope you can make it also."

Tara & Kevin

In case any of you haven't heard via Facebook (my dad and I both posted about it) Tara and Kevin are engaged! Kevin proposed to her when they went to Indianapolis two weekends ago and she accepted. The wedding is tentatively scheduled for July 24th, 2010. I'm sure I can speak for everyone when I say congratulations and we wish Tara and Kevin the best.

MJ Package Website

After the smashing success of Kayla's jewelry website, John Reed was kind enough to agree to help me out on a project I've been mulling over for a while. I sent off some text and pictures (thanks to Matt for enhancing them!), and John built the site. So check out the brand-spanking-new site:

M.J. Package Store

I took my laptop over to the store to show it to Gramps, who chuckled over my bad booze pun (you will too!) and gave it the MJ seal of approval. I hope you like it too.

Easter!

Max found the gold egg at the big hunt and was awfully proud of himself. The egg itself is looking a little rough, though. Janis remembers that Gram got the gold egg from a pair of Leggs pantyhose (remember when they came in shiny eggs?) but of course they don't sell those anymore. Ebay was less than helpful, but I found gold eggs at Oriental Trading online. They only sell them by the dozen, so if you need a gold egg for your own hunt, just let me know.

In other news, Spongebob suffered some serious damage in what all the kids home will become a new annual tradition.
