The Little Helper

Every time Dad is doing work around the house G-MAC feels the need to help him out. Well when he was tiling the bathroom it was no different.

Bathroom makover

We knew when we bought our house that we were going to need to redo the bathroom.
The first step was easy... DESTRUCTION gutting the bathroom and stripping the tiles to the bare floor

Here it is in its original "glory"

We all thought that the bit of original wallpaper behind the toilet was "interesting"

Halloween 2009

OK so I know that it is a few days late but here are the kids in their Halloween costumes.
Even though the teenagers didn't trick-or-treat they still enjoyed dressing up.

Inch is dressed as an ancient Greek

"U" went as a traveling beggar monk

Rose went as Blessed Kateri Tekakwitha

We are truly enjoying God's canvas, our view from the backyard.

Old Friends

For the last 16 years we have moved about once every 2-4 years. It's been fun and we have made many friends along the way. A few of those friends we really connected with and have kept in touch with for many years. Email and phone calls are usually the norm. This week we were blessed enough to get a visit from our really good friends that we met when we lived in Turkey. They are also the Godparents of Mystical Rose and Godmother to GMAC. We had such a wonderful time, we miss them already.

Proud of Inch

Inch was the Lector at the Mass last night. Four years ago I couldn't imagine that he would volunteer to do this,since he used to be so nervous to go in front of people, to do anything. Yes he was a bit nervous, but he did really well. I am really glad he's had this opportunity, hopefully he will continue to serve the Church, in this ministry. He's really growing up.

Twenty-Ninth Sunday in Ordinary Time

Isaiah 53:10-11 Psalm 33:4-5, 18-20, 22 Hebrews 4:14-16 Mark 10:35-45 or 10:42-45 The air which we breathe, the bread which we eat, the heart which throbs in our bosoms, are not more necessary for man that he may live as a human being, than is prayer for the Christian that he may live as a Christian. -- St. John Eudes *from EWTN.com

Daddy & I

My dad and I have been reading this book, and we just finished it! It's about 4 kids that go to an island and meet 2 other kids who who go there every summer. They have a lot of adventure, some of it is with retired and friendly pirates. The thing I like the most is the kids imagination. The plot is really good also. Thanks daddy for reading it with me every night.

Nice Doggie

G-MAC, loves to crawl around the house pretending to be a dog. She's been doing this since she was 16 months old. It's the cutest thing to watch. She even plays tug-of-war like a puppy!
