CHURCH SCHOOL

The kids made cookies at church school this last week. Then they mailed some of the cookies to college students from our parish! To "SHARE THE LOVE".

I hope the recipients enjoy the cookies...I know many children had fun making them!

~WINNING PIES~

The girls and I each entered pies in the 1st annual apple pie baking contest at St. Agnes this year. I guess the pie making lessons from my grand-mother paid off! MR placed 3rd and I WON!!

They sold the winning pie for $5/slice. We had a lot of fun entering!

ONE LUCKY BOY

As I have posted before JM is very blessed by his god-parents. They love and accept him for the special little one that he is. May he continue to grow to the person he is intended to be!

We had a great time at the APPLE ORCHARD with them.

~ORCHARD VISIT~

The kids and I went on an APPLE ORCHARD visit with a group from church yesterday. The day ended up being perfect and I think all had a great time. Including SF who got to spend some quiet time at home alone! That doesn't happen often for a Dad of 4!

~HAIRCUTS~

I borrowed MR's camera on a trip to the apple orchard yesterday and found these photos! We usually save $ by cutting the kids hair ourselves, but JC Penney had a deal for free back to school haircuts, so we took advantage of it. MR really wanted "long-layers" so she got a rather stylish haircut. EM and SJ were a bit nervous and just got trims. I didn't really get great shots of the final products, but they were happy and looked great to start school!

SCHOOL PHOTOS~2012

The kids had photos taken at school recently. They are all looking pretty good if I say so myself!
