Summer '09 Highlights

Here are some highlights from the Summer of 2009

Our Very First Garden!

We did it...one step at a time!

It started out small....

...but then it grew and grew!

Lettuce, cucumber, tomato, cabbage, chard and lots of delicious herbs!

Our 2nd Annual Homeschool Summer Musical

"Cinderella"

starring Caroline

as

"Eutropelia"

(Cinderella's Mouse Friend)

and

Julia & Mary Katharine

as

"Alethea" and "Artemis"

(Fairies)

Franciscan Summer Camp

Caroline enjoyed another week at camp...

even though she'll miss her buddies Doh-Doh and Be-bet

The Greatest Anniversary Gift Ever

Pictures could never do this justice.

Grammy spent over one month with the girls,

learning songs, dances, making costumes and props

for a special surprise performance of

"South Pacific"

Mommy and Daddy were given fancy cocktails,

special tropical appetizers and

front row seats for our 12th wedding anniversary surprise.

The girls did a GREAT job.

You brought us to tears with your sweet voices,

little dance steps and all that you learned

and kept a secret for such a long time.

Thank you!

We love you so much.

Summer Film Project...our First Movie!

We are so blessed by the talents and dedication of the families in our community.

The girls had the special privilege of filming a documentary

on the life of Saint Bernadette of Lourdes.

This project involved over 100 children from CT and Westchester County.

It was a lot of fun and was a fantastic experience

in many ways.

And last but not least...

Caroline's 9th Birthday in August

This year's party theme was a

"Johnny Rockets" Hamburger Party

cutting fondant "tomatoes" for her cheeseburger cake!

Our coolest cake so far (and the easiest one too)

Waiting to greet her customers at the JR Cafe!
