So Much has happened! Sorry has taken so long to update!

Real Quick:

Mommy had a week long national conference in Boston the week of Oct.12-16th. Nana and Uncle Sean came to NYC for the weekend and picked us up and drive us to Boston. I stayed with Nana and Grandpa for the week. Uncle Sean came to Cohasset almost every night and Auntie Caitlin came Wed.- Sunday.

Mommy doesn't know how Nana does it ALL. Nana would work all day and then still find energy to play with me and make us all a special dinner. Since Nana had to work all week I had special visitors to take care of me and grandpa. Uncle Tommy grandpa brother, got grandpa from the rehab hospital on Monday and took care of my on Tuesday. We had the best time he looks just like grandpa and is soooooo Funny!

Wed. one of Mommy's great friend Jessica watched me. She brought me to Jill's another one of mommy's great friends for a play date with Gabbie, Jill's niece. I thought she was one of my girlfriends. We had a blast playing together.
Wed. night Mommy came for dinner and visit.

Thursday Oct. 15th: Daddy's BIRTHDAY!!!! We sang a special birthday song!

MY Nana's friend Nan came to watch me until Auntie Caitlin came to Nana and grandpa's. Nan was so nice she read me my favorite stories.

Friday we headed home to celebrate Daddy's Birthday.

We had Daddy's Birthday celebration on October 16h! Michael made his daddy a very special birthday card, his first piece of art work!


Friday Grandpa gave everyone a good scare. He was rushed to the hospital for blood clots in his Legs and Lung. They also detected a heart problem. Grandpa's heart rate was shooting up to 180 , if he just moved his leg. He was on strict bed rest for five days in order for them to find the appropriate meds to balance his heart rate and blood pressure. It turns out Grandpa has Afib a common heart problem on the Connolly's Side. What was concerning was the amount of days it took to stabilize his heart rate.
Grandpa was just released from the hospital. He is in great spirits. The visiting nurse and PT will come every day to keep a close eye on him. He was given strong medications to help his recovery.

The doctor said he probably had these blood clots for two weeks and said if he was not active the blood clots would have gotten too big and could have killed him. Grandpa gave me credit for keeping him moving. As you can see in the video I insisted that my Grandpa walk around with me. I would take his cane and say come on grandpa got to keep you moving. My Mommy tried to say let grandpa rest , but I knew he had to walk around and thank God I did!

Please keep grandpa in your thoughts and prayers! Mommy needs him to be fully better before Molly comes.


This past weekend Auntie Sarah came to celebrate Daddy's Birthday and see me. She brought me my first Pennington Bear right from England. We had a special visit. I love when I have Auntie Sarah time!


Love to all '
Have to run back to work more video and pics to upload later.

Great photos, Megan! I love the one with Michael helping Grandpa go for a walk. We're praying that Grandpa is feeling much better soon.
You look wonderful! It won't be long now.
Love and hugs,
