Here we go!



Joe McLaughlin married Eileen Reen September 23, 1961. They settled in Medway, Ma. They live there still.

Joe and Eileen raised four daughters. I am one. By New Year's Day 2010, each daughter had married and given birth to two children ... with one exception. Steve and I literally one-upped everyone by popping out a third. Have you done the math? Joe and Eileen have four daughters, four sons-in-law, nine grandchildren.

We sisters, we daughters of Joe and Eileen, intend to keep one another abreast of our little life stories through this blog. Our oldest children may chime in as well. Mary-Jo's kids are barely toddling and talking, so it will be some time before they are direct contributors.

Peek if you will. Peter may mind, but we don't.

Happy birthday, Mark!


Historical Note: Mark Carver shares his birthday with Grandpa, Mom's father.

  2. The year Mark was born or Grampa? Mark's 1961...Grampa, hmmm, gotta cheat. Accorting to legacy.com he was born 1/1/1893 and died July 15, 1987. I really thought he died in the summer of 1986!

  3. Grampa, of course! Sorry about my unclear pronoun reference. How cool is legacy.com? That's a new one for me!
