Christ is Risen!

~Easter Morning~

Daddy with his favorite girls

Thanks Aunt Jul for the beautiful dresses.

At Church with our handsome cousins!

After Mass, we did...well, what we do every Sunday after Mass....we got donuts at the best donut shop around....Whitney Donut Shop. Our cousins from Massachusetts love these donuts too. And it's been said that their father is willing to make the trip to Connecticut just to get the donuts (and New Haven style pizza).

Thanks to all our cousins near and far (and grandmas) for coming to spend Easter weekend with us. We're still eating chocolate bunnies and jelly beans.

Julia's 7th Birthday

Happy 7th Birthday Doobs!

We love you so much.

You are a GREAT kid.

And we are so blessed to be your parents.

We pray for you as you prepare your little heart

to receive your First Holy Communion.

Only a few more weeks until the big day....

Can't believe you're already SEVEN!

We remember the day you were born.

You were so quiet and so pretty.

Your big sister was so proud to have a little sister to hold.

We love you and wish you a happy 7th birthday.

We hope you enjoyed your special trip to Kid City with your sisters,

your favorite dessert (brownie sundae) and your new HSM sweatshirt from Grammy.

Love, Mommy and Daddy

Spring 2009 Activities

Stations of the Cross

The girls participated again this year in the Living Stations

with the AMDG Drama Group up in Avon.

This time around, both girls worked "behind the scenes"

helping with costumes and with the Latin choir.

They also created their own "station" made out of clay

depicting Simon of Cyrene assisting Jesus as he carried His cross.

Spring Semester Art Class

All three big girls are taking art class with a few friends at their home on Mondays.

Our art teacher agreed to come to give us private at-home lessons this spring.

Last week, the girls made mosaics and next week, 

they will make and decorate their own terra cotta planter.

Ballet...and Tap Class

Mary Katharine is taking her very first dance class.

She just loves ballet with Miss Debbie and will be learning a little dance to The Nutcracker.

Caroline and Julia are also taking a ballet and tap class together.

This is their second semester with Miss Debbie.
