Boys and Hair

Bruno gets a hair cut. Very short, and wanting to hide it under his hat. Finally, he's wearing a hat!!!! Contemplating taking it off, while eating Cheerios. I love short hair on the boys.





Okay, I'm a traditionalist. I love boys with short hair. I love how short hair allows their features to stand out. Proper. Clean. The eyes say it all.

Disco Bowling with Peggy the Penguin

The boys took Peggy bowling. Peggy is the class penguin that each student in Max's class takes home, and writes a journal entry about. We decided to take Peggy bowling to shake things up a bit. We love bowling!







Spring is on the way....

Beautiful tulips for Spring

How Do we Teach our Children Well?





Max's first reconciliation: Today Max had his first reconciliation, which he must do before First Communion. It was difficult in one sense: how can a 7 year old have sins and confess them? Although I had some reservations about this, it was really well done and not so much about sin, but rather, about living a full examined life. Max has to be conscious of how he lives: How do I treat my siblings? How do I treat my parents? Am I a good friend?

I am all for teaching our children how to live an "examined" life, and not a frivolous life that I see so much of in our society. So, it's not about sin, its about hope and being a good person. It's about doing our best, and carrying on. I am all for that!!!

Bad Hair Day at School

It is school spirit week, and students are to come to school with Bad Hair. Well, Bruno wasn't really impressed, but Boris was right in there in the spirit of things. (Boris desperately wants to go to school with the boys!!!)
