The Aunts

A couple of weekends ago, my sister, Meghan, my mom, Al, the girls and I met with my dad's two sisters. It's been many, many years since Meghan and I have seen my Aunt Pat and Aunt Andrea. This was actually the first time that I really recall seeing them. We had lunch together at Timothy O'Toole's in Gurnee. The girls were so great. We barely heard a peep out of them for the 3 hours that we were chatting and catching up.

Below is a photo of the whole group. Poor Madison pooped out at the end.

My Aunt Pat and Aunt Ann put together a couple of very nice albums for Meghan and I with photos of our dad from when he was a kid, a young man just entering the army and of him fishing (a favorite hobby). It was a treat for Meg and I to see some of these glimpses into his life since we really did not get to know our dad very well. All in all, we very much appreciated the time that my aunts put in to saving his memorabilia and passing it onto us.
