First Communions, Baptisms, and Birthdays

So back in April we had a party. I couldn't post pictures then, so I'm going to tell all about it now. We had a First Communion, Baptism, and a 4th birthday party all on the same day. It was wonderful! We had about 45 people at our house after the ceremonies at church. So, here are a couple of pictures of my kiddos.

John Paul, my First Communicant, looking good in his suit.



And John Paul holding Mary, in her Baptismal gown, and Charlie (the 4 year old birthday boy).

That's all for tonight.

When Daddy needs help...

Otherwise known as I'VE GOT PICTURES!!!

So, when Daddy is fixing the tractor and little ones are around, they naturally think that they are vital to getting the job done. Exhibit A,B,and C.

And for those of you who aren't sure, Vincent is in the orange and Harry is in the blue.

Busy, busy, busy

So we got our garden planted (most of it) on Tuesday. Yes, here in MN we don't plant until the first of June. And it was cold! I'm very excited about this garden and I'm even more excited to stock my freezer and pantry after harvesting all the goodies!

We're still homeschooling. Since we took time off for Mary's birth and just plain don't homeschool every single day, so we're just going to keep going. The kids don't seem to mind most days and it'll be good for them. So, we just trudge along. Really, it's the twins that take up so much of my time and energy. They really are a handful, and as much as I love them, I do look forward to nap time. It's the only time when I can get anything done. They are boundless balls of energy and into everything.

So, that's it for now, I need to do a few things, but I will try to get on again soon.
