I am hosting Christmas Day and the dishwasher decided to break. No time to bring out the Canon on Christmas, so I only got a few photos from my cell phone. And seriously? The dishwasher had to break then and leak water to Laura’s room below? As if hosting...
Right after Mom’s funeral, Miquel announced to us all that CVS would be honoring Mom with their contribution to Relay for Life. I was impressed and honored that they would do that. Thank you CVS for this opportunity.
Once again, the holiday air had a difference about it. I think mostly because Mom wasn’t able to handle the whole dinner like in years past. But everyone brought something and contributed.
Thanksgiving as usual was at Linda and George’s house. This year was a little different, Enric and family were not in Wisconsin and could be with us, and George had commitments in Florida, so he and Linda were getting a little taste of what John and I suffer through too...
Dedication As a Baptist church, we do not baptize infants as we believe they need to make their own mind up as to their belief and faith when they are of an age when they understand what it is all about. However, we do dedicate babies to the Lord and...
Saturday we had as much of the family as we could assemble for a swim/picnic day. Not everyone is shown here, for some reason. I know Jenny and Miquel arrived late, when I had baby Harley, I was holding her in the pool and not a time to grab...
Sunday brought Christmas! We went to church and family came soon after. I didn’t get many photos, perhaps after a few rounds of presents, I was tuckered out. 🙂
Laura decided on a small get together at home for her 18th birthday. Of course this was her third such get together, this one was just on her actual birthday. So Laura had a nice birthday month, and we had a very sweet Thanksgiving, and the Ravens won! 🙂...
Today was the boys’ birthday party. It had been ages since we’d been to the house, it was good to go! Here are some photos of the day: (Click on the images to see them larger) Happy Birthday, Connor and Aiden.
This year Miranda decided to have Silas’s birthday party a little early. Just like last year, it was held at Lake Waterford Park. Perhaps I should pause here and give the reason for the “dirt” cake: A while back Silas was annoyingly and repeatingly asking for something to eat....
Everyone came to the house today and Rubàseemed to notice at once that Connor had a haircut. Not sure Connor was crazy about the extra attention. Rubi gets excited anyway. Connor just is looking less sure about RubÒs attentions, he is trying to play a video game! Oh Connor,...
This year Laura completes her last year of high school. We couldn’t let the occasion pass without a party!
Laura and I wanted to do something today, and thought of walking around Kinder Park in this nice weather. When we found out that Cameron had a tee ball game today, we decided to walk to the park where he was at and watch him play. When we arrived there,...
With Aiden and Conner’s help, Silas gets introduced to hand-held games. They were just so cute! I had to take some pictures!
Christmas morning I was so fatigued from all the preparations made weeks beforehand and our late night on Christmas Eve, that I wondered how I was going to manage this day, and no matter how hard I tried, I was STILL in my pajamas when people started to arrive! At...
This year for Thanksgiving, ALL of the family was together except Miquel who had to work and Jenny who stayed home. But unlike last year Miranda and Silas were away, as a family, we were all together for at least part of the day. We had a great time, and...
Birthday parties and actual birthdays don’t always match in this family. We celebrated earlier this month Silas’s actual birthday, but today was his birthday party. Miranda decided to have it at Lake Waterford. Sweet for me to think the very park I took Enric and Miranda’s engagement photos at, now...
Today we celebrated Daniel’s birthday. With some fun at the pool… Miranda walks baby Rubàaround the pool… …while Aiden does a dive belly flop into the water. Silas preferred to try out a new bike that Connor and Aiden brought. Bikes going down the hill seemed like a fun...
Today was a birthday party for Aiden and Connor. Blowing out the candles… Eating cake… New Toys! Balloons! More Photos HERE
It’s Linda’s birthday! I love my big sister. Today we celebrated. George invited all of us to The Bayou in Havre de Grace. Most of us feasted on crab cakes. They were perfection. We had a great time with little Connot and Aiden. Images of the celebration are...
