Pat's Last Day of Kindergarten

Yesterday Patrick's class "graduated" from Kindergarten.  Becca, George and I were there to celebrate with him.

The cake with each kids name on it.

Patrick receiving his grades...

..and his Kindergarten completion certificate.

Let's not forget the hat.

After I told Patrick he was wearing his hat wrong (it was on the back of his head, not flat), Monseigneur was good enough to help him out.

Then we all enjoyed some refreshments.

Then it was out to the playground/parking load for the hat toss and class picture.

Here is the St. Patrick's School kindergarten class of 2012.

Each kid gave a short speech to thank people.  Patrick told me afterwards he meant to thank Dad but he felt the speech was getting a little long.

Over all it was a great day.  Thanks to other parents who took the last two pictures and to the staff at St. Pat's for giving my kid a fabulous introduction to world of academia.

General Silliness

Hello and welcome back to our blog.  We have a few pictures from early last month that never made it on the blog so we'll start with them.  Here is George displaying his keen fashion sense.

What cute little behinds they have.

About two weeks ago, Patrick lost his third tooth.  I keep asking him to smile because he looks so silly!

Yesterday, Becca decided it was time for a new do.   Before:

And after:

 

She looked so cute I decided to get the same do.  Now we look like twins...kinda.

That's it for now.  I hope you all have a great day!

Rose's Baptism

A couple of week ago, we made the trip to the greater Cleveland, OH area to celebrate the baptism of Rose.  Our kids wasted no time in finding someone to read to them.

This was our first chance to meet Miss Rose and we all got along famously.

Our extremely well-mannered children.

I'm not sure how we all fit on the couch but here's proof we did.

Rose with her mom.

I'm so glad Dave and Patrick get along.

Becca was getting a little tired by the end of the party.

I got a little time with Rose at church before Mass started.

Becca fell in love with Colleen and told me she smelled good.

 Here is Miss Rose with her parents and Godparents.  Thanks to the Katricaks for inviting us, we had fun.

Easter 2012

Hello and Happy Easter to you all. We stayed in Washington again this year and went to a friends house for an egg hunt. But before that and after Mass we did the family picture thing. Here are Becca and George waiting.

The Family.

Do you think she knows she cute?



Now on the the egg hunt. Becca decided to stay dressed up while the boys went for comfort.

Emily on the run.

George did not really understand this last year but he did just fine this time.

Pia works on filling her basket the first time around.

Patrick had several full baskets as well.

Teddy decided not to wait to have his candy which was a lot of fun with melted chocolate.
