Here are some pictures from the first half of May. It has been very busy around here, not starting with, but certainly including Xavier’s first communion. Marianne flew out for the event, and here she is walking kids to school. The obligatory “cleans up nice” shot… and the obligatory shot of the moment… The next…
You might remember a week or so ago when I posted that I had turned to Facebook to get some inspiration in the form of suggestions as to what to write about. One of the suggestions was “The Pelfrey family commitment to altar serving every mass ” and that got me to thinking about things….

Additionally, August and Dela were altar servers at the mass, and Dela was altar server #1, which is sort of a big deal considering she is only…
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…
