Rosie's Play

Rosie is in her last year of the Drama Club, and they put on the funniest shows. Ms. Greschner wrote this play, and the kids were so good with their "funny lines."  Rosie wore her Elvis costume and did a GREAT job - she got some good laughs from the audience.  I laughed out loud & couldn't believe how confident she was in front of everyone.  I am forever amazed at my children - they are always surprising me & I love it.  The drama club is the best club for the kids to gain confidence in public speaking.  They love this club!

Next year, we move to the Speech Club!

Adam's Confirmation

Monday, April 26th was another WONDERFUL evening!  I was Adam's Confirmation Sponsor, and it was the most moving Mass.  I was so pumped up after the Mass and so excited for Adam (John).  It is truly a once in a lifetime moment - I know it was special for him but as an adult, it reinforces that the Holy Spirit is  with us all the time. 

Adam, you are growing up too quickly, but I am so proud of you.  I will always see you as the cutest little baby, but I know you are growing up to be an honest & caring man.  I love your haircut too!!!  Keep it short for me!

Adam & me before the ceremony & before Bishop Hermann quizzed all the kids!  That was the best part, and I was so proud of these kids.  They knew their saint & explained very well why they chose them.  Bishop Hermann was also very impressed!

The darling Bettis family!

Jacob's First Holy Communion

Has it really been that long since I last posted?  When you get out of the habit....

At the end of April, we celebrated Jacob's First Holy Communion on Saturday, April 24th.  It was a smaller group of kids, so it made it even more special.  He looked so sweet, and I just love witnessing this sacrament.  Afterwards, we celebrated at Kay & Greg's house.  It was a wonderful afternoon & evening with family!

My brother & sister-in-law have a houseful of animals, and Spike (guinea pig) is the newest one.  Guess who wants one now???

A little scared but definitely warmed up to him.....
