The McMahon Family

It was hard to find a time everyone was home and not exhausted, but we found an evening to put up the tree!

We had a new voter in the house this election! I am very proud of him. He did his research ahead of time on the ballot issues and candidates and knew what and how he was voting.

His first time voting!

Mac turned 19! We had a great time eating at his favorite place, Oishi and hanging with family. He may have been overly tired due to pulling an all nighter the day before playing games…

The fall play that SJO put on was called Radium Girls. It’s the story of the factory workers who developed radiation poisoning from painting watch faces in the early 1900s. We thought it would be a rather depressing show, but it was really great. The kids did a fabulous job acting and I was enthralled with the story line the whole time.

Patrick did sound for it. He did a great job! He also helped get pictures and video for the promotional video they created.

Both boys earned an academic letter from their studies last school year. Every year they hold the assembly for it, I can’t go. Shannon usually attends for me and sends pics. With Mac graduating, he was honored, but the graduating class doesn’t attend. Of course, this is the year that I have off and can finally attend. The year it’s just Patrick, and not both of them there! Oh well, I was still happy that I got to go to one.

Such excitement!
