Our Magnum Opus

Fun Odds 'n Ends

(It would appear that teenage boys are my main source of social interaction these days. LOL)

Lugnuts Baseball on vocations night with Father Tom

Football 2018

Dominic is playing his last year for the Ann Arbor Saints.  Got some QB sacks, made a few touchdowns....

And Then There Were Four!

Monica and Inshal texted this picture and called about a month after arriving home from their honeymoon!  We are grandparents!

She had the usual morning sickness, and was absurdly tired, falling asleep everywhere.  But nothing made us suspect twins.  At her initial OB visit, there were clearly two active babies, both measuring appropriately in size. 

TWINS!!

Regina Earned Her WFR

Affectionately called 'woofer'.  Wilderness First Responder.  Regina was on campus at WCC when Blaise's class returned, having just earned her certification.  We're very proud of her, few 17 year olds have completed this course.

Blaise takes on WCC

Arriving back from the freshmen COR expedition, Blaise was looking a little pirate-y.

The student body begins the 2018-2019 school year with Matriculation Mass

 

Maria is 13

...and we have 4 teenagers once again!

Farewell to Blaise

Off to Wyoming Catholic College!  We are going to miss him so much!  Blaise is the fourth child to leave home for college, and it does get easier, but not much. 

Our traditional Dairy Queen farewell.  Kevin J. phoned it in.  :)

Other Summer Things

VBS

Near the army base where Kevin J. is stationed, there is a local baker who will bake and deliver a treat for a soldier's birthday, and send the customer a picture.  Here is our very tired soldier with his 25th birthday treat!

 

Regina is 17

Regina spent her 17th birthday in the Denver airport waiting for a delayed flight to get home from PEAK. (Wyoming Catholic college's summer program for interested highschoolers.)  In spite of a nasty cold and missing a few of the activities, (she was evacuated from the backpacking trip) she had a great time.  We celebrated the very tired birthday girl the day after she got back home.  Monica baked pasties and Celestine baked a layered sponge cake with cream and berries.

Alex is 23

Celebrating our gentle, steady, genius as he turns 23!
