Friends!

Just last weekend we were blessed to host our friends for a couple of days. We have known Tim and Alia for 5 years. I met Alia when I worked at the Archdiocese, as she did too. Shortly after we were involved in a married couples Bible study with them, which strengthen our realtionship. Though, two years ago they moved to St. Louis... needless to say we don't see them very often. We were overjoyed to hear that they would be coming to town and honoring us with their presence. Our kiddos are only a few short months apart from each other, so it's comforting to have friends who are in the same boat we are!

Thank you Tim, Alia and family for coming to visit! We had a wonderful time!! We look forward to more times together in the future.

Cereal Necklaces

The other day I decided that it might be fun to have the kids make some cereal necklaces. And, they had a blast!! Not only did they eat a TON of Frosted Fruity Cherrios, but Jonathan did a great job of stringing the cereal on the yarn all by himself. It was a success. Jonathan stringing the cherrios on

He for sure ate his fair share... but Catherine did too! Catherine sporting her new necklace... very proudly!

Jonathan had me take NUMEROUS pictures of him with the necklace on. He was more proud than Catherine!

I'm here!

Dearest Family and Friends,

Lest you think that I have totally neglected this blog- or have stopped blogging- be assured that I have not forgotten it! For some reason or another, I have had a very difficult time getting back into my regular routine- ever since Thanksgiving. I do have lots of fun pictures and stories to share from the past couple of months. Thank you for your dedication and interest in me and my family. I look forward to sharing more with you soon!
