Phamily Foto Phriday 3-25-16 (And St. Patrick’s Day Part 2)

This batch of pictures is going to be kind of big. There are a number of shots from St. Patrick’s Day celebrations and performances, but not necessarily of Déla dancing, which is why I didn’t include them in the previous post. Case in point. Here is Ciarán who came along to one of Déla’s performances…

St. Patrick’s Day 2016 (Part 1)

Yes, it’s late, but here are a few bits from this year’s St. Patrick’s Day celebrations. There were a number of appearances by Déla’s dance studio. It is so difficult getting a clear shot of her as she dances. Here she is at the St. Patrick’s Day Parade (she’s the one on the right). One…

It has been incredibly busy, as you can tell by the complete lack of posts over the previous week, but things have been so busy here. So busy that I haven’t had much in the way of pictures, so I only have a few to share. First up we have Xavier being rather daring on…

Yes, it has been a couple of weeks, I know. And I don’t even have pictures of each of the kids to make up for it. Here is Ciaran getting a little recognition for attending Cub Scout Winter Camp. Last week I took Xavier and Tevye to the zoo one morning. I keep meaning to…

The box came a few days ago and August tore right into it. With a little assistance. Let’s take a closer look at the contents. Here is the game – Elliot Quest.

Winter Camp 2016

This past weekend was Winter Camp – the first time August did not go since he is now a Boy Scout. Well, I could have taken him if I had registered him as a Den Chief, but it was nice just having Ciáran and me there. Sadly the snow began to melt the week before…

An Advantageous Childhood

August has, in his 12 years so far on this earth, had more sleepovers than I did in almost my entire childhood. But that’s not the half of it. A couple of nights ago he had a friend spending the night and they watched Metropolis. August is 12 years old, and he’s watching a film…

Just a few pictures this week. Last week was Catholic Schools Week. Friday was “Purple & Gold Day” showing school spirit. Here are two of the best dressed from the day, August and the vice principal. And Xavier discovered another board game – LEGO Minotaurus (I wish LEGO did not discontinue their board game division)….

Lent Begins

By |

Ash Wednesday. I am having trouble figuring out what I’m going to give up for Lent. It will come to me. But first I have to get to mass.  Get the kids to school, get back home, change Tevye, get out the door, etc. We are in the alley with the stroller and at the…

Phamily Foto Phriday 2-5-16

A heck of a week. It started with Catholic Schools Week which is essentially an “open house” for the school on Sunday. I had planned on getting pictures of all the kids in their various classrooms but an active Tevye prevented that. I was able to get one of them all together at the preschool….
