Greetings from the Sheehe family.  Over the past year we have added one member to our immediate family - Oscar McCarthy Sheehe.  Oscar will be one year old in April.  Please check out his newborn video.  We also have lots of photos of both Oscar and Max from 2004 and are starting to collect the ones in 2005.  The fabulous Max McCarthy Sheehe is now four years old and attending preschool.  One of my favorite videos from last year is Max in his tumbling class.

Last year was the year we were lucky enough to attend the two wonderful weddings.   The wedding of my brother Matt and the wonderful Becky was a classic affair out in wine country. We also have all the rehearsal dinner video (in four different downloads) available on this site in the movie section for the year 2004.   The wedding of my cousin Bayne and the beautiful Holly was a kick-butt party in Baja Mexico. Both couples are pregnant right now and expecting babies in 2005!

Both cousin Ben Quackenbush and Maya McCarthy celebrated their first birthdays.  I was able to catch Ben in walking action during his big fiesta. Hopefully I will get a new one of Maya sometime this year.
Let's see, what else happened last year. We took a great trip to Vancouver with Max's girlfriend Claire right after Oscar was born in June. We met the Boudour family in Seattle and then took a road trip up the coast to Vancouver. What a great city!

Oh yes, and how could I forget.  We took a family vacation - Oscar, Max, me, and Rich - to Walt Disney world in September.  I had a conference and we piggy back the free airfare and hotel time.  Before the conference, we went to Walt Disney World and Animal Kingdom.  The kids absolutely loved it.  There was plenty of rides for us all to go on as a family.  The safari in Animal Kingdom was so good that it reminded me of the Peace Corps in Africa.  Then, after the conference, we even hopped on a 3 day Disney cruise.  Sounds cheesy but they totally watch your kids the whole time and provide activities - even baby Oscar.  Rich and I made a point of never getting off the ship, never doing any adult activities - we just sat at the adult-only pool, soaked up the sun, and had a great almost kid-free vacation.  We didn't even take too many cruise photos, as our online album can attest.
