More Scouts and Other things.

Blue-Gold isn't the only Scouting things going on around here.  Last summer I lead 6 Scouts in earning the Ad Altare Dei award.  That means "to the Altar of God" in case you were wondering.  Every three weeks or so, we would gather at our kitchen table or virtually and discuss the seven Sacraments.  Here's a great shot by George of me announcing the Scouts at Mass on February 14th. 

George did he best but the other parents kept getting in the way.

Here are the 6 Scouts, including Patrick and Rebecca.  We are very gratefully that our parish let us award this metal at Mass.

In other news, Becca allowed a friend to do make-up on her for an art project.  

Mary wanted to show off her present for Aunt Pat, matching pjs for her doll and herself.

And her Lego set from her Godmother.

After a few weeks of sub-zero temperatures, this spring-like weather is much enjoyed.  Becca's shortened volleyball season is winding down with basketball starting up soon.  She just finished Lego League competition and it looks as if her team will make state this year.  She is also involved in the school Scholastic Bowl.  Patrick's Sco Bo season just ended but pep-band will be starting soon.  He's also been singing lots of sea shanties for Solo and Assumable Choir.  Soccer for Cecilia and Mary should happen this spring and George is still begging to play football, La-Cross, or rugby.
