Some Serious Catching Up to Do...

Life has been so crazy... I am trying to make an effort to start blogging again so our kiddos will be able to look back with fond memories. Please be patient because we have about six months of catching up to do on our blog.

ABCs and 123s

Emma's working hard on her Word Families. In jest, I decided to help her learn to write her name. I drew out the letters under the line to remind her. She surprised me by already knowing how to write her Es and As. I am very proud of you, Em. The silly face is just a bonus :)!

Swimming Lessons

Emma is starting her swimming lessons today. She is going to take lessons with Ms. Emily for 2 weeks, and is very excited to get started.

Norm is Home

Norm has finally made his place at home.

Emma's Gift

This week is Andre's birthday. Emma took it upon herself to make her own gift for Andre. The contents, I am quite positive Andre would not need or want. So why is this significant??? Some of these items were HER favorite things. I was SO amazed that our precious sweetheart was willing to part with the things she loved most to share with someone she loved. She truly was a witness to me.

Contents: roll of bubble wrap, pink princess shoe, John Deere toy tractor with no wheels, spoon, insert for sippi cup, pink brush, and orange crayon.

We had such a fun time celebrating Madeline's party at Girard Park. It was little muddy, but that's what made it even more fun!

Thanksgiving in Toledo Bend

We had such a great time spending Thanksgiving in Toledo Bend. It is always a time to relax, and be thankful for all the many things the Lord has given to us. We really also enjoyed being with our family and getting to go fishing. We even got to spend time with Aunt "Caffey" and Rye Rye on Sunday.

God Bless America!

Moments like today make us sad, but very Proud to be an American! Today we buried one of our local soldiers, Sgt Patrick Williamson(Army, 1st Battalion, 17th Infantry Regiment, 5th Stryker Brigade Combat Team, 2nd Infantry Division, Fort Lewis, Wash.).

Many people lined the streets, paying their respect to Sgt. Williamson and his family. We were blessed to be a part of such a solemn, but beautiful witness of sacrifice and bravery.

May Our Sweet Lord hold this family in His Beautiful Arms!

We are so appreciative of all those who have, are, and will fight for this great Nation!

St. Mary Magdalene Relics

We were so blessed to be able to venerate the relics of St Mary Magdalene. First, and foremost she knelt before our crucified Lord, but she is also the saint for which our church is named. It was a very peaceful experience!
