The ice on our pond has been wonderful this year. The kids skate nearly every day!

I can't find any birthday pictures... I can't even recall what we did for it. (I'm binge blogging months later.) Of all the kids, he wouldn't let it just pass by so I KNOW we celebrated! But Dom had a great fall so here are a few Dom pictures.

Blaise turned 18, we now have four adults and four minors! Monica made her delicious pasties and Black Forest cake, a few friends were here, and we manged to do his birthday celebration in the same week as the actual birthday. A win all around!
Happy Birthday Blaise, we thinking you are turning out quite well!
He celebrated with a recent new job and new wheels
Well, almost 8. Her birthday falls on Ash Wednesday this year so we celebrated the day before. Lydia's last few months have been busy! :) at the Haye's traditional Valentine's party, sipping punch far left

Regina baked an amazing strawberry (pink lady) cake
I wonder when moms stop seeing their kid's birthdays as big, blog worthy milestones... or maybe they don't stop. :)
they've been buds since the day she was born
Apparently we forgot to invite Beowulf to the party
I made sure to read through the Treasure Box books one more time with her this winter. She loves them. These are books I will save for the grandchildren, they are a lovely tool for teaching the faith.
Lydia says she would like to be an author, or an artist, or a vet, or a nun. She's a bit eclectic. :)
losing teeth at an alarming rate but getting rich!
suffering through working hard on math
Dominic is always up for some action or spending time with his buds!
