August 5: A quick little trip with a few kids.

The odds and ends of a summer well spent.

The little boys get library cards.

July 31: Today Rose said farewell to her physical therapy home team. Shaylnn has been with us since Rose was a month old! And Rosie took right to Margot last year when her other therapist moved, they were instant friends. Being set up with a team of people who helped us navigate all the therapy options and give us knowledge on what to do in our home to help Rose’s mobility grow stronger has been invaluable. We will miss seeing them and having their assistance and encouragement every month. They’ve been such a great blessing to Rose and to our family. Now we’re off to find out what will be the next step in her changing mobility needs.

July 28: Young and sweet only 17!

Esther did a great job on the cake inspired by one we saw on the Insta.

Happy birthday Lily, we love you!

July brings visitors. Grandmere and Sylvia join us for the 4th and stay around for a while. Cousin Edith gets to spend a few days with us too!

Fancy Ice Cream Socializing.

Theatrics!

We always enjoy the time they can spend with us!

July 4: Independence day with good food and family again this year! Grandmere and Aunt Sylvia get to come!

June 24: The church commemorates the birth of St. John the Baptist. This is the day we celebrate everyone’s baptism days in one shot. This has proved to be much easier than keeping up with each of them individually.

You only turn Sweet Sixteen on the 16th once. Happy Golden Birthday to Clara! 

Happy Birthday Clarie, we love you!

June 16: Clara’s golden birthday!

A happy Father’s Day I’d say.

“Your wife will be like a fruitful vine within your house, your children will be like olive shoots around your table. Yes, this will be the blessing for the man who fears the Lord.” Psalm 128:3-4

May 29: Blessed Feast of the Ascension. Our Lord in the flesh ascended into Heaven and sits at the Right Hand of God. As is our tradition, and an old tradition in the Church, we feast with a picnic on a hill. Thankfully we happen to live in a pretty high hill so we didn’t have to go very far. What a glorious day.

May 27: We couldn’t have had a more beautiful day to celebrate our sweet Josephine who turned 9 today!

An Ice cream cone Hunt!

Happy Birthday Josephine, we love you!
