Family Dinners

Sitting down to dinner with my whole family is one of my favorite things! Jon has been coming home early every night this year and it’s been great! The other night while eating dinner I ran to get my camera. Everyone smiled because they know that I don’t have a problem taking a picture of them with their mouths full. Megan laughed and said “you’re a weird mom.” I explained to her how she will love to look back and see us all sitting around the table together. I would LOVE to see a picture of my brothers and I sitting around the dinner table. So here’s a picture of “Taco Monday”Image

In other news, I’m excited to know that the man who handed me my high school diploma could be our next Pope. Praying for Cardinal O’Malley.

Lucy worked on drawing some shapes:Image

Jon took Lucy out to lunch while I was at jury duty. He sent me a few pictures because he knows pictures of the kids makes me happy 🙂 ImageImage

The jacket obviously needs a washing.

Megan started lacrosse this week:ImageImageImageImage

Chalkboard

I love my chalkboard in my kitchen! I try to put something up there once a week for my girls to read. Anything to encourage them into trying something hard or something about enjoying their young lives to the fullest.  This morning I found this on Pinterest and just LOVED it! Image

I sat in jury duty for the last couple of days watching this broken family. It really was sad. I can’t help but think, if someone would have been a positive influence on this young mother maybe her life would have turned out differently.

Our Weekend

These weekends go by much too quickly. Friday night Heather and I took the kids to the mall to get their Lacrosse gear. Then we had a quick bite to eat at Panera Bread. Jon stayed home to paint the girls’ new beds. They came out really cute!! We spent the entire day on Saturday cleaning and emptying out their room and then putting everything back together. Image

Sunday was Marlene’s birthday and their first day home from St. Marten so we had everyone up for dinner. Such a fun day!! Image

I think someone missed their BabaImage
