Trip to Notre Dame

The first two pictures are not from ND, but they are a couple random pictures from a visit to Grandma and Grandpa's house one morning.

In October, Jim had a big test in Chicago.  They boys and I met him on a Thursday, after his test, and spent the night in Chi-town.  Aunt Karen was in town, too, on business so we got to spend some time with her as well.  Friday morning, we drove to Notre Dame.  At a McDonalds along the way, we ran into Nick Faldo.  Jim was excited; I had no idea who he was.  For those of you like me, he is a professional golfer.  He gladly posed for a picture with Jim and Jack.

Charlie was excited to visit Notre Dame for the first time!

Jim showed his boys the beautiful campus.

Maybe we'll take another picture of the five of us on campus one day when we bring one of our sons here!

Daddy and his boys:

The Glee Club reunion was that weekend (and the main reason for our visit).  On Friday afternoon, there was an open Glee Club practice and the alumni got to participate. Jim is in the front row, a little to the right of center.

On Saturday, we walked around campus before the game.

Jim showed us his old dorm, Morrissey Manor.  Why isn't Patrick in this picture?

This is what Patrick was doing...

Now it was Patrick's turn for a picture in front of Daddy's dorm.

Jack got to go to his first Notre Dame football game!  He was pretty excited!  They played BYU and won 17-14.  We are excited to watch the BCS National Championship game tonight!  GO IRISH!
