Happy 52nd Birthday to me!

Wow! I have to admit when I typed the 52 I was a little shocked. Really... I'm 52?...I don't feel 52...maybe late 30's to early 40's. I attribute it to having children later...shoot I have a 12 year old... I am not allowed to be old...and I love that.

All kidding aside I do feel truly blessed. I am so grateful to be happily married with 4 amazing children that may not always do as their mother pleases but they are wonderful caring people and I am proud of each one of them and I truly enjoy their company. Thank you God for my sweet husband and each of my 4 beautiful children.

He is Risen... and we celebrate!

Little Miss Elle turns 22!

Elle was able to come home the week-end before her birthday and we were able to celebrate together at the Hong Kong Buffet. Thomas and I were able to go down on her actual birthday and take her for Starbucks and then to Krogers to help fill her cupbaords for spring quarter. Love you Elle!

Last Run Through the Tunnel

Thomas's last Upward Basketball game. It was so fun to watch him play these past 4 years or so. He did an amazing job both offensively and defensively this year. I am sure it didn't hurt that he had grown a few inches since the last season :) I have to admit getting a little teary eyed at the last game. I will miss watching him run up and down the court... we discovered the boy can run. Upward has been an amazing program to be involved with and I am very grateful for the many people who gave up there Saturdays for the kids. May God bless them all!

John Timothy Xavier

March 4 was a special day! John was confirmed by Bishop Leonard Blair taking Francis Xavier as his confirmation name. His sponsor was Michael Starrs but Michael was unable to be there due to the date change of the Confirmation that conflicted with his school play. Mr Starrs stood in for Michael and did a fine job. We had a lovely brunch here before Mass with lots of good food including a "fruits of the spirit" dessert pizza. What a blessing to have family and friends to share this special day!

May John always be lead by the Holy Spirit and make use of the gifts he recieved and continues to receive. Come Holy Spirit!
