March Family Dinner

Hi Everybody!!

I'm so glad February is behind us and so far March has been so beautiful!
Our March family dinner is coming up this Sunday March 14th .
Dinner will be between 3-5 PM.
Kristen and Andrew have offered to do the main course this month,
and their choice is CHINESE! Let's all think asian as we select our sides.
Let me know what your preferences are and I'll post them!
See you Sunday!
Also, Grandmom Flannery will be joining us for dinner from Ingleside!

2 Months!

Here are a few pics from Valentine's day... the completion of Gabriel's 2nd Month!

















Hope everyone's doing well! :)

Where Are WE?

After the weather of the past week I have been wondering...

Just exactly WHERE ARE WE?

I'm tempted to think that sometime last Thursday,

Februrary 4th, 2010, we were somehow mysteriously

transported to the foothills of some mountain range in

ALASKA!!! How else would you explain 2 huge BLIZZARDS

in the space of 1 week! Just check out these pictures

and video clips!! In actuality we are in Landenberg, PA,

in the southeast corner of the state, and we're experiencing

the worst winter in recorded weather!!! That's over 130 years.

loving our little boy :)

 

 Gabriel had his first play date the other day... Ruthie just wanted to grab him!  Gabriel doesn't seem too interested in girls yet... Mommy hopes it stays that way for a LONG time! ;-)

January Dinner

Hi Flannery Clan!
I sent out a text message today to ask about 2 dates for our January dinner,
this Sunday, the 24th or next Sunday the 31st. I heard back from Steve and Rebecca and Ryan and Jenna that the 31st would work best for them.
How about you Andrew and Kristen? That day will be fine for us.
Talk to you all soon!
Love,
Mom

1 Month Old!

It's hard to believe Gabriel is already 1 month old (5 1/2 weeks actually!)... God has blessed us so richly with our little guy, its amazing how much he's grown and changed already!

He flashed his first genuine smile at mommy on Friday evening... it just melted my heart.  We've seen many smiles while nursing and sleeping, but this one was the real deal :)  Daddy got to see it too!

At his 1 month check-up he weighed 9lb 8oz... 50% for height and weight and 70% for his head (ryan says he gets that from him :)). 

Gabriel loves to sleep!  He takes a good nap in the morning after his breakfast and a looong nap after lunch (which mommy really appreciates!).  We're not sleeping through the night yet, but I'm not complaining... I know he'll get there eventually :) 

Well... that's about it for the update.  No milestones for Ryan or Jenna ;-) 

Hope everyone is doing well! :)  Here's a couple of pics for you to enjoy...

 

 

Love to all :)

Blog Resuscitation

Hello again fam!

I'm just posting now to let you know that you all can become Blog Authors on here, so feel free to create your own posts and comment on each others.  I really want to open this up and let it be a place for events (family dinners, holidays, etc.) to allow for easy collaboration.  Of course, phone calls are always welcome!  We'll be back posting on here with updates about our family so please keep us in the loop with your own branches as well as I know we don't talk on the phone as much as maybe we'd like to.  I know we're all busy :O).

Well, I hope you choose to accept the invite and start blogging.  I'm very blessed to have such a wonderful family and I thank God for you all in my prayers!

Family Dinner

Hello out there fellow Flannerys and Thrifts. I just thought I'd come on here and thank you all for coming out to dinner yesterday. We had a great time hosting you and we were really thankful you could all make it out, check out the new place, and have some good times along the way! You were all excellent guests.

On a side note, please let me know if you'd like to have rights to post blogs on here so we can all have as much access as possible to this blog. I know Mom and Dad showed interest, so I'd like to give them a tutorial sometime. Let me know!

Well, good blogging and happy reading.

Getting You Guys On Board

Well, this is my second official post and look, i'm already not updating it regularly. To say the least things have been busy with the move and the end of the school year :O).

Anyways, I'm posting now to get you guys in on this. I want you all to create google accounts so I can add you as adminstrators/bloggers/posters or whatever you want to call it. This way, you can all post on pertinent events in our lives, instead of just commenting on what I have to say. Let me know what you think of this as I think it could be another great way to establish dinners, announce events and invite people over. This is a really cool thing we can all use that has almost limitless possibilities.















Soooooooooo, what's the answer?

First Post!

Hello there fellow Flannerys and quite possibly Thrifts. I decided, after working on my one online-class, that we could keep in touch via blogs. So, here it is, the Flannery Family Blog. I thought this would be an excellent way to talk about family dinners and post pictures that we might have so everyone could view them. Now, I know this might be new to some people, even myself, so if you have any questions, e-mail me or even post on the blog. This is open to any of you family members so feel free to check it frequently.

Now down to business. Our next dinner is planned for Father's day, June 15th. As far as we know, the location is still at Mom and Dad's, however, Jenna and I would be happy to host it- let us know! We're really excited for you guys to come out and see our new place! The picture is from the night we settled on the house. Keep in touch!

We love you all,
Ryan and Jenna
