The Carmody Family: March 2007

Super Diamond!

Ok, here are a few non-child related photos. A few of our neighbors went out one night to see the band Super Diamond. They are a Neil Diamond cover band that has a huge following. They play nothing but Neil Diamond songs and everyone from the band to the fans dress up in 1970's garb. It was a riot!. They played at a club that holds 800-1000 people and it was packed. Everyone was wearing silk shirts, bell-bottom pants, huge afros, rhinestone jackets, you name it. Of course everyone drank there share that evening and all sang along to "Sweet Caroline", "I am, I said", "Cracklin' Rose" and more. These photos actually give a pretty good glimpse of how crazy and fun the night was:

Mike and Ania (Jonah's parents) were the leaders for the night. They have seen Super Diamond several times in the past:

Kelly (in green) lives at the end of our block:

Here's our group photo. Look at Ania's face and check out the glasses in the lower right corner:

If you zoom in you can see that Ania's is tipping her glass and pouring her drink right into Kim's glass totally by accident. This has to be the funniest photo ever:

Here's another photo that shows me looking down because Ania is again spilling her drink!

How old are we again?

The lead singer calls himself "Surreal Neil"

What a great night!

Mattie's Half Birthday and more

Mattie turned 3 1/2 and Mackenzie was 9 months on March 23rd:

"Where's my cake?"

Mattie and I went to a hockey game and caught a shirt thrown into the crowd. I think daddy will wear it till MM grows into it:

MM and Mack really play well together:

You can see in this photo that Mattie's toy cat is wearing her dolls clothes. All of MM's dolls are naked and all her stuffed cats, dogs, etc. all wear different clothes. Go figure!

Mackenzie has figured out how to make noise on a kazoo. It is so funny to hear her toot away:

Ham it up Mattie!:

The kids at play

Mackenzie is going to be a daredevil. She loves going high on the swings:

Mattie is starting to figure out how to peddle her tricycle:

Mackenzie showing off her 2 bottom teeth:

The coffee/ice cream shop near our house has a swings set just like ours:

Mattie and Jonah (neighbor down the street) roaring like lions:

A few of the neighbors and children:

Mackenzie is wiped out after a long hard day of play:

Mackenzie Mattie and St. Patty's Day

Everyday is St. Patty's Day if your Irish like the Carmody's!

Mattie had her Irish Princess crown on all day. Here she is with Emily our babysitter:

We went to a party at a friends house at night:

Mackenzied proved to everyone that she has the Irish taste for a good pint:

Tony Bennett

Kim and I just can't go to enough concerts. The big one in March was Tony Bennett. He's celebrating his 80th birthday on this tour. He was fantastic. He daced around the stage and chanted about the different songs and of course his voice has not skipped a beat. It sounded great at the Buel Theatre at the Preforming Arts Complex. I snapped a couple photos of the show:
