December 2008 aka ‘Wow, um, we’re back’

Daddy and Papa John played some music at O’Flaherty’s in San Jose.

Anya ate some cake. AND LIKED IT.

Grace, Peggy, Min, Kristen, Maeve, Teaghan, Mommy, Nora, Kaddie, Anya and Carly brunched it up.

Anya listed to the left (hers)

Maeve posed as she is wont to do.

Anya is your next American Idol.

Anya seemed somewhat confused by Daddy Clause…

…but regained her cool later on.

Teaghan and her classmates, along with Grandma Joanie sang Holiday songs.

Jeff flew up for what appears to be an annual before Xmas recording session weekend.

Which of course meant that Chris was going to be joining the session.

Xmas eve at the Lavelle’s house.

Mommy and Daddy travelled back in time to the Senior Prom.

One morning, many presents appeared, and the children were happy.

Anya seems to enjoy this.

Don’t impede Nora Jane. You have been warned!

Best friends.

Rams in the front and the back. Anne, Jen, Kari, Colum, Nicole and Kaddie.

Teaghan, Colum, Anne and Steph rock out oddly enough while playing Rock Band 2.

Steph takes over the mic and Nicole jumps in on the axe.

Jen can’t take it anymore and starts shredding to Eye of the Tiger.

Daddy and Kari get in on the action. The crowd goes mild.

The obligatory non-Rock Band 2 picture of Anya.

Los Lynches rocked out 2008 with Nora and Dan while playing, yes, you guessed it, Rock Band 2!

Thanksgiving Weekend

Los Lynches were spared any long distance travel over the long weekend, and they were thankful for that fact, and other stuff too. However, they did make four trips down to the South Bay over the weekend.

Things started off on Wednesday with the Willow Glen High School Alumni Basketball game. In this action shot, Anne drives to the lane, completely oblivious to the wide open Nora Kiewlich (her sister) who stands wide open in the lane. I think the bottom of the backboard took a pounding on the ensuing layup try...

After the game, Anne sweatily posed with her old high school chums: Anne, Camila, Kari, Nicole, Paola and Laura (RAMS IN THE FRONT)

The next day, Los Lynches participated in the Applied Materials Silicon Valley Turkey Trot. In the first race, Anne pushed Anya in the single stroller, while Scott pushed Teaghan and Maeve in the double stroller.

Later, Maeve and Teaghan had their own individual races to run. In this action shot, if you look closely, you can see Teaghan heading for the finish line.

After the races, Los Lynches travelled to Saratoga to have Thanksgiving Dinner with Great Grandma Joanna.

Anya enjoyed her first turkey and mashed potatoes bowl

After dinner, we retired to the garage to burn off calories. In yet another action shot, Teaghan attempts to kick a goal past her super reflexed mommy with limited success.

Anya and Great Grandma kept a close on the action from different vantage points.

While daddy busted out the 1995 video camera to capture the action.

Later still, Spider-Man battled Lamb-Girl. It was a draw.

Finally, it was bathtime. Anya is starting to get the hang of it, and was held steady by Great Grandma.

The obligatory group shot, this time with crazy angle.

Before heading out, Maeve and Teaghan got some quality time in with the toy carousel.

Mommy and Anya pose for the camera.

Then Daddy jumps in.

And then Great Grandma and Anya Great Grandma got in on the action.

Great Grandma was kind enough to keep an eye on the bigger kids as Mommy, Daddy and Anya headed to downtown Saratoga for the annual tree lighting and open house festivities.

Filling in the Gaps

Time is flying but the blog must be updated! Here is the first stab at back filling the month of Oct and most of November. Yikes, Thanksgiving is in 4 days!!!!! Aagasdgaglkjsadgd

First off, gigs were played:

The Rogues rocked the Brit in Cupertino/San Jose early in October.

Anne and Papa Jack soaked in the music with the help of fried food and Guinness.

Marisa, Tami, Chris and Camila showed their support

One of the littlest fans (Nora Jane) proudly watched her Daddy pound away on the drums.

Literally a handful of hours later, Anne and Scott were up at the crack of dawn for the Rock 'n' Roll Half Marathon in San Jose.
