Baby of Family has a Baby!

My sister, Karen (Kirsten) had her first baby! Autumn Elise was born September 3rd! To me, she looks like her Dad, Seth, but that's a red tint in her hair. Can't wait to see her grow!

September

Big month for the Keating Krew! We attended our first USMA football game - Go Black Knights! We won in overtime against Kent State. The weather was great and the kids were more attentive to what was going on than I had expected. It's so neat to be in a community with an NCAA (and Army) team to walk over and root for!

Jake had his fourth birthday party on Sunday. He turns 4 tomorrow and I have a bday this month, too. Never mind how old Mama is! Cap'n Jake Redbeard Keating's pirate party was a hit with the other swashbucklers in the neighborhood. They popped balloons, dug for treasure and had some Jolly Roger cupcakes - with black icing, of course.
Even the old pirates got in on the fun and had a who-can-hang-on-the-longest contest on the jungle gym. Dread Pirate Ryan was one that had to walk the plank!














I'm loving my job, being an EECS Geek! Having the nanny has totally reduced the frazzle factor that comes into play when we're both working. We're busy, but having so much fun with what we're involved in! Life is good! P.S. Make that THREE Fantasy Football leagues for Ryan! Go Hillbilly Buttstompers!
