Jersey Kids Baptism

A day of celebration, as all three of our Jersey children (Tyler, Cassie & Jacob) were baptized into the Catholic Church. We love that our children are learning about Jesus Christ and a living a christian life! God Bless them!

Summer days are now long gone

November snow

As its snowing this afternoon, I'm missing the hot summer days that we fully enjoyed. Lord knows that I do not like the hot, humid weather that living in Illinois can bring, but I think I dislike winter even more, mainly because it causes hard driving conditions, hard working conditions for my hubby and his crew and forces my Jersey kids to be indoors more than they and I like.

So, here's to a quick prayer, please be kind on us, oh winter Gods!

This picture just makes me smile!

Halloween 2011

Halloween is so much fun for this Jersey family, who put a lot of thought into what they wanted to dress up as. Thankfully, Cassie & Jacob found $1.99 outfits at the local goodwill. Tyler's cost a bit more, but his mama was happy that it didn't cover his beautiful face...and everyone loved their original costumes that seemed to fit their personalities pretty darn well! Loved that we all were able to go out together, including dad, who stepped away from the plow for the night! No tricks, all treats, that the kids have been sorting and trading and diagramming!!! Love it! And them!
