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.

Saint Patrick's Day and more

Well, it is Saint Patrick's Day once more and here are the kids this morning.

Lia, is ready to stop this foolishness.

And she's done.

We headed over to Peoria for the parade with St. Patrick's school.  This is Becca's Daisy Scout troop, thanks to other moms who had cameras with them.

This weekend, Mike made me very happy and hung up this pewter plates in the kitchen.  These plates, featuring scenes of the American Revolution, were always in my Grandma and Grandpa Quigley's kitchen and I'm very happy to carry on the tradition.

Since the camera is out, lets take a few shots.

Both Becca and George have had ear infections that last couple of weeks, Patrick is tripping up and down the stairs, and Cecilia has been up screaming at night.  So, life is normal.  We're all more than ready for spring to come and the snow to go away.
