Memory Lane

The Ballylinn is passed down generation to generation. Here, the youngest member carrying the bloodline, Charlotte Noelle, has only to look at her Poppa to activate this unique trait.

June 2001. Oscar was six months old and after this picture was taken in La Jolla, the BBD drove the Irish B up to Portland with DC. It took three days.

Here's Aiden and Linda, the beautiful people, looking relaxed at their home in Sedona.

Brothers and sisters. Throw this group together and you've got instant Ballylinn. Dominic, Aiden, Rose and Daniel. Thank God for Rose--without her there'd be some serious trouble!

Do we know how to have a good time or what? Here's me, Mom & Dad a few years ago on Thanksgiving. We went to see "The Incredibles" afterwards.

Here's Shane with Oscar on that same Thanksgiving. They're both older and even more gorgeous now.

Dad has always enjoyed a good bath in the sun. There's Eileen in the background, soaking it up like a cat.

Colleen and I, as little nippers. You can definitely see the Ballylin blood in this picture.
