http://hillearyfamily.blogspot.com/2014_02_01_archive.html
Wednesday, February 26, 2014. Our Many Halloween Celebrations. I remember this from last year.Halloween here is a little like preparing for a marathon. Run, run, run, and once it's finally over, I am wiped out and I want nothing to do with it.until next year! We had celebrations for Shay's class, Malia's class, the Embassy, and our own neighborhood! On the final night of trick-or-treating, I was re-gifting candy that we had acquired from the previous celebrations! It was a lot of fun! Stay tuned next year.

Thursday, May 23, 2013. Welcome to the world, Christian Patrick! The C-section was scheduled for March 11th and with the way everything was going, we were making plans up to that day. But just like the rest of the pregnancy, we should have known better than to make plans! At just 35 weeks, thankfully he arrived healthy and without needing any intervention from the NICU. Clear the schedule. Change of plans! We're having a baby today.". Proud big brother and. Ready to go home! Posted by Brendan and Michelle.

Sunday, August 26, 2012. Nuestro Casa Es Su Casa. Our household goods arrived earlier than we thought they would so right now we are digging our way through boxes. I snapped a few pictures on my phone of the outside and first floor before the stuff arrived so you will see remnants of our "Welcome Kit" loaned to us by the Embassy. The second floor is where the 4 bedrooms are, and the third floor is a favorite.it's the playroom! Backyard- we love our yard and our yard is loved by the hummingbirds! We haven...

http://hillearyfamily.blogspot.com/2014/10/more-than-procrastinator.html
Monday, October 20, 2014. More Than A Procrastinator. Ok, I am slowly realizing that I am not much of a blogger. I apologize over and over again for these gaping holes in our family blog (to whom I'm apologizing, I do not know! I wasn't even sure who really ever looked at our blog until my Aunt Joan (this a shout out to you, AJ) told me at a recent family get-together how much she enjoyed reading my blog. You are my motivation to keep going! And so I begin.again! Posted by Brendan Hilleary.

The Hilleary Family: November 2010
http://hillearyfamily.blogspot.com/2010_11_01_archive.html
Tuesday, November 2, 2010. It has been busy in the Hilleary house for the past few months (and we will post pictures of our adventures asap! For Halloween this year, Shay wanted to be a firefighter and he made a very handsome one! With this new fascination, we have gotten him a few books on the subject matter and he just eats it up! Unfortunately, we couldn't find a costume in her size, so she went as a bumble bee instead. She was a super cute little bee! Posted by Brendan and Michelle.

Saturday, December 14, 2013. Shay's 1st Grade Nativity Play. Earlier this week, we attended a Christmas program at Shay's school. Shay was picked to play Saint Joseph and sing "Silent Night" in English and Spanish. He was pretty excited to wear his Saint Joseph costume again this year and will actually get one more chance to wear it on Christmas Eve when he and Malia will be performing in our church's Nativity play. So without further ado, here's the video:. Posted by Brendan Hilleary.

The Hilleary Family: Despedida
http://hillearyfamily.blogspot.com/2014/10/despedida.html
Monday, October 20, 2014. In spanish, this word means "a goodbye; a farewell; a send off." They are a huge part of the culture and I'm sure, more common in this ever-transient community of the Embassy. It was even better this way, stress-free, and a truly enjoyable and memorable day! It was a great opportunity to see people one last time before they headed off for their new assignments and/or summer travel. Paola and Sean (Terry not pictured)- Shay's best bud and one of the sweetest kids we know! At ever...

Tuesday, July 1, 2014. Quito Welcomes The Giant Crab. The pictures are a little out of order.Shay had been working on a special project at school for a couple of months. They learned the entire process of what it takes to publish a book and they had a beautiful finished product to show for all their hard work. Our visitors were able to be present at the Book Celebration. Posted by Brendan Hilleary. You can see the box of crude tagua waiting to be carefully shaped with her saw. The locals find a use for j...
