Hello Blog . . . .

Its been a long time!!!

I am typing this September, 2016, two days before we all head back to school!  Don't ask me where the time has gone, especially the summer.  In a great effort to play catch up, I am highlighting some of the major occasions over the past eight months!

* So proud of our Hannah who was nominated into the middle school national honor society.  

 * Saint Patrick's day is always fun for our Irish family.  Finley won the award for the best Irish Spirit!

 * This past winter was one of the mildest I can remember in a long, long, time.  I was thrilled, not so much for the skiers and sledding enthusiasts in my house.  It only snowed a handful of times.  Hope we get just as lucky next winter! HA!

 *Easter Time

* My four little chickadees before Easter Mass - Love these guys!

* My little guy celebrated his first holy communion.  The last of four. So bittersweet!

 * Ryland and Father Chris

* Brothers being brothers

* The last Day of school.  Look at those smiling faces!!!
Not sure they will be as happy in two days when we have to go back!

* We have been having fun watching this little guy run around our yard all summer and feeding him carrots.

*Fourth of July photos before we headed to the beach to celebrate!

Just Like That . .

It's 2016!!!!!!


Christmas Eve and Day were absolutely lovely weatherwise.  The warmest temps I can ever remember.  No coats or hat! What!  I'll take it while it lasts!
Pictures right before Mass.

 They know the golden rule.  Nobody allowed downstairs until after 7:00!

We had a great day and then On New Year's Eve at exactly 8:06 P.M. this handsome guy turned 15!
My first born, so hard to believe.  The boy who made me a mom for the first time and changed our lives forever.  We love you so very much and are so proud of the young man you are becoming!
