In late August we had to say good bye to the old swing set. It had done more than its fair share of serves to the family. The back yard still looks kinda weird.
Patrick is exploring the wonderful world of college at Benedictine. He was kind enough to send me a picture of him in his beanie. He calls about once a week to chat and help Mary missing him a little less.
I turned 46 this September and got one of the best presents ever from Mary. She wrote this on my classroom board.
Cecilia also started her 2nd XC season. Here are some pictures of her running by.
Mary enjoys the meets because she gets to hang out with the other little siblings.
George is taking a welding class this semester and he brought this home after a few weeks. Its not perfect but I think its pretty good for a beginner.
Last Friday, Cecilia made her cantor debut at St. Pat's school Mass. She did great!
Mary also read a petition that morning.
Last Sunday, I was "attacked" by an inanimate sign at a Cub Scout meeting. Despite the amount of blood, it wasn't too bad.
This is Homecoming week at WCHS and Becca was asked to go with a boy!
Cecilia also started her basketball season this week. It was fun to see the 8th grade girls braiding each others hair while they watched the younger girls play.
I watched the parade on Friday . This is the Junior float which Becca assured us was the best.
Three of the middle schools in town joined forces to make one "marching" band. I used quotations because they were at best walking, no on the beat. You can see Cecilia in the green shirt behind the other trombone in a green shirt.
Mike and Mary walked with the Cub Scouts again this year.
The St. Pat's band is small but mighty.
Tonight is the dance. Becca was meeting her date and friends so I just took some pictures of her all dressed up. And of course Mary wanted to join in.
