Zack's first annual Celtic Festival...

Big news today!!! My sister Patti had her baby girl this afternoon around 2:30. She had a healthy daughter named Madison Shea McGuirk, born at 7lbs., 9oz. (which is a big baby for her!), and 21 inches long. We are so thankful that Patti and Madison are both healthy and doing well. Two babies down, two more to go! My best friend Steph is due in November and my brother Clint and his girlfriend Tara are having their baby in December - - both boys! Zack is going to have so many kids to play with as he grows!
Every year, our family attends the Celtic Festival that is held at the Grass Valley Fairgrounds. We have gone every year since it first started...almost 10 years now. It's like a mini family reunion for us, which is hard to do with such a large family. My sister and her family from Oregon even drive down for the occasion. We took Zack to his very first Celtic Festival yesterday...unfortunately, his daddy had to work, but we still had a good time. There was a lot of food, great booths to shop at and it was so much fun to spend the day with the family and all the kids.
First, here are two pictures of Zack from the other night when he decided to suck his thumb! He has never done this, nor has he done it since.



The Celtic Festival

Shea and Alex grabbing a snack before heading back to the kid's area to play.

My eldest sibling Christine and my niece Aria. Look at that long red hair! She doesn't look a bit Irish, does she?

My sister Colleen and my niece Shea.

Our friends Stacy and Jeff met us in Grass Valley for the festival. We had so much fun together.

Zack had a blast! He was so good all day.

He got lots of kisses from his Auntie Stacy.

My niece Destiny introduced us to her fiance Jon for the first time. We had the privilege of having Jon stay with us this weekend - - they are so incredibly good together and we look forward to him being "officially" in the family.

Alex was pouting in time-out. He was so tired and started getting a tad grumpy.

Zack got lots of lovin' from his Grandma Sally.

AJ being a goof as always.

Destiny, me and Jon laying on the blankets.

It was getting cold, so I made sure Zack was all bundled up.

Me and my sister Kate.

Aria and Shea - - they are best friends.
