1st Communion

It was almost a month ago that Patrick made his First Holy Communion.  Mike and I got him a St. Patrick's medal to commemorate the event.

Since the kids were all gussied up, we took the opportunity to take their picture.

Here is Pat looking holy.

 All the First Communicants singing "Bless the World".  Very nice.

And Lia looked on in awe.

Pat with his Godparents, Pat and Dave.

With Miss Keck, his amazing religion teacher.

And with the Mrs. Cagle, his second grade teacher.

And finally with Grandma and Grandpa Hatton.

We have tons more pictures to post so come back again soon.

Cleveland

Because we can't resisted a sacrament, we headed east last weekend to witness the baptism of Jacob K.  He is a darling young man and we all loved him right away.

 Becca made him laugh... lot.

 Here he is with Dad.

 Becca and Rose hanging out together.

I did my part to help out around the house.

We also enjoyed the baptism.

 And with his parents.

Easter

I convinced Mike to take a family picture on Easter morning after Mass.  I figured we were all dressed up, so why not?

We took individual pictures of the kids.  Lia didn't get that she needed to stand still.

Becca loved the hat!

George is just a goof.

And Patrick just looks old.  When did he get so big?

We changed our clothes and went over the Showalter's for the egg hunt.  I think Mike calling it an egg pick-up is more accurate.  It took Lia two eggs to understand the concept and go to town.

It was a beautiful day full of sunshine.  We have more pictures coming!

It Has Been A Long Time!

It has been a long time since I put up any pictures so I'm gonna make it up to you with a bunch of them.  Have you even seen my kids play with light sabers?  

George had his fist soccer game last week.  

Now, so random shots of the kids being kids.  George and Lia looked so cute in the pantry.

  Lia eating her snack and doing her thing.

We've had a few days of beautiful sunshine followed by snow.  But we are enjoying the sunshine and no school today.  I hope you enjoyed the pictures.
