November

November means birthdays for Becca (16!) and Cecilia (11!).

The Cub Scouts got to be the color guard for a Peoria Riverman game. 

Becca was an ancestor in the WCHS production The Addams Family.

Patrick was asked to accompany his friend to a party.  eh loves to wear a suit so he was happy to help.

Thanksgiving at home.

October

Becca had a choir concert and the music as beautiful.

The girls XC team made qualified for state in October making it Cecilia's first trip to State this year.

Here we are at the state meet.  Our team didn't win anything but the girls are ran hard on a cruddy day.

We also had our Cub Scout pack campout in October.

The 2nd grade has a pinning ceremony as part of their preparation for their First Holy Communion in May.

October means Halloween.  

 

August/September

 We had our typical busy schedule last August and September so her are the photos we took.

Patrick had a beard after Philmont until school began again.

Tilly being the queen she is.

Cecilia had her first XC season.  Mike and I actually both made it to a few meets when Becca didn't have a swim meet at the same time.

Last August we said good bye to Mike's grandfather, Harry. 

More XC pictures.

Mary also played soccer again last fall.

Mike also put the finishing touches on our basement which has been a wonderful place for the kids to hang out.

Not only was there XC, Cecilia started playing basketball for St. Pats in September.  She showed the same tough attitude as her sister on the court.

And of course we have Scouts.  Here the girls are waiting for the Homecoming parade.

More basketball.

These little sisters are happy to cheer on their big sisters.
