May 2025

 
May was, as always, a whirlwind of activities here.  Cecilia had concert for choir and band this year.

Our 3rd grade class were more than a little excited about to announcement of the new pope.  I found this on the playground.

I spend a couple of Saturdays at track meets and though to bring some shade just once.  While I was at this particular meet, Mary was dropped off at softball practice.  She somehow managed to smash her finger while batting in the thumb nail fell completely off a few weeks later.

Becca attended the St. Pat's School graduation Mass and ending up serving with her best friend.  They were excited to serve for Fr. Bazi. 

I offered to take a picture and it turned into a photo shoot.

George must have said something his sisters didn't like.  Or maybe everyone needed to pull of some steam.

We closed out May with the Memorial Day parade. The ceremony at the cemetery was thankful short this year, only one speaker. 

April 2025

the 6th grade performs a Living Stations of the Cross the week before Easter at our school.  Cecilia was Mary.

It feels like Becca kick started senior year this spring.  Here were are at her National Honors Society induction.

Becca also had the spring choir concert.

And she once again read a piece she had written for Bloom but this time she added some of her artwork.

Spring is also track season and Cecilia has falling in love with the high jump this year.  Her form is pretty good, now if she could just grow a few inches!

And the last picture if Becca on her way to prom, with the theme of Prom-amia.  Yes it was her idea.  If the dress looks familiar, you probably went to the band dance with me in 2000.

That's it for now.  I will get to May soon.

 

March 2025

 I will make a couple of post catch up with the photos since March. We had a busy weekend with George scouting in Springfield, and Becca singing in Bloomington.  The drive to Spingfield, Bloomington, back to Springfield, and finally home wasn't too bad.  Having the wrong school for the singing was not fun.

Mary and I took a six-hour drive to return Patrick to college in mid-March.  She wanted to spend as much time as she could with him.

Mary finished up her park district basketball in March.

And George got his learners permit!

The "highlight" of the month was the unexpected drive back to KS when Patrick had a seizure.  To this date, we don't have a confirmed reason for the seizure but his health is otherwise fine.
