What is a Chilldog and why do they have a reunion?
Well, the "Chilldogs" are Jon's college friends (named from a type-o on their intramural softball team shirts over a decade ago). They have been getting together for a number of years now (this is only my 5th time to witness the craziness) and each year the crowd grows. We all take turns hosting everyone else for a weekend every summer....and this year the Mooney Family hosted 5 couples and 11 children in Akron, Ohio last weekend. I think the first time I met everyone there were only 6 kids....so our group is growing quickly! The kids play together, we eat good meals and enjoy an always interesting "white elephant" gift exchange while visiting.

to look at the camera at the same time!)
Next year Hannah will be playing with the girls, but this year
she just watched the chaos around her....
On Saturday afternoon we went to the pool...Hannah is still too little for sun, sunscreen, or the pool, so she just sat with Mommy in the shade for a little while and then spent the rest of the day indoors. Daddy went swimming with the "boys" and kids and had a good time.
