Gavin Patrick Cronin



This little guy is my newest nephew. He arrived yesterday, the 23rd of November weighing in at 7 lbs. 7 oz. He is such a cutie and looks like Sarah did when she was a baby! He certainly does take after our side of the family with that perfect little head and cute features. Good work Sarah and Ryan! His aunt Laura loves him already. Now I can put his cute face with those adorable little noises I heard over the phone yesterday. How I wish you didn't live so far away!

Halloween 2009

Baker & McKenzie had a Family Halloween party and this was part of the decorations there in the hallway. I couldn't help but laugh when I saw this but at the same time was kind of sad. I think it represents exactly how much time these Attorneys are spending at the office. I joked with Brent that this is how he was going to look when he died. Doesn't seem too funny now! On average (since July of this year) Brent bills over 250 hours a month. Before this summer his goal was to bill 170 hours a month...needless to say, we don't get to see much of him!

The Girls LOVED going to Brent's office! They didn't want to leave! He does have a pretty cool view from his window of one of the skyscrapers in Dallas. It was even cooler at night when all the lights were on!


Hannah and Danielle OR ("Pippi Longstocking" and "Super Girl")had three night's of trick-or-treating! First night at Brent's office, second night at our ward's Halloween/trunk or treat and then of course Halloween night in our fabulous neighborhood! We have candy coming out our ears! By the way, these boots Danielle is wearing caused an awful lot of tears and frustration, I'm so glad Halloween is over and this costume will never be worn again...at least not by this child!
Brent and I don't usually dress up but I convinced Brent into it just this once!
Since we are having a baby I wanted to highlight the fact.
We got a lot of good laughs and we even shocked a few people!

"The Bun Maker" and "The Bun in the Oven"!
Good Times!
