I took this group photo of a group of Gallagher men just after Christmas this year but I singled out my Uncle Kevin's son Daniel - I thought he had a resemblance to Pat Dean and now to this picture of "Grandaddy" too!
Last week I tried to "encourage" my family to post to this blog. I sent them all TERRIBLE pictures of themselves and threatened to post them here if they didn't post their own. Although they all responded soon enough to my threat, nobody has updated this blog yet. To be fair, this sort of thing is easier for me to do so I'll give a general update on the family. I won't post those nasty pictures just yet, because I'm sure there are some of me floating around and I don't want to start a war. You may remember there are 6 kids, in order of age: Mark, Colleen, Paul, David, Kathleen & Kevin. Hearing it listed like that reminds me of being called for dinner. :) Mom and Dad (Maureen and Al) are both in good health and living in that big house you remember in Ancaster. The house and property itself would look very different to many of you as my Dad's projects have really transformed the place. There are no more big willow trees (and no more treehouse!) :( ...

You all will recognize, I'm sure, Pat, Joe and Ford on the left side of the photo.
Staning in back (l-r) is Daniel, Wes and Dylan (all Kevin's boys) and finally Terry. Down in front with the hat is Nick and the other is Loretta's Tony :)
Great picture.As soon as i saw it , my first thought was to ask for all the names. Which of coarse you had already done so. Please continue to send more photos, i need to study up for when we come down in July. We are really looking forward to coming down. I think it was 1988 or 89 when we were last down there.
i did start to write a discription on who was who in that photo. After typing for what seemed like forever, i thought does anyone really care? But here we go are you ready?
First picture, forget it too far away.
Second picture, the lovely Kristina Ford (Denis's).
Third picture forget also, same reason.
Fourth picture, Kristina, my daughter Ellen, Loretto's daughter Colleen,Colleen's friend and Patricia Ford (Denis's daughter ) and in front row my son Jack in leaf jersey and his friend Kyle.
