Back to School for Term Three

We are back and school.. and it is busy...track and field and speech arts and Easter around the corner!!!

Our 9th Anniversary

Hard to believe nine years have flown by for us...it goes so fast. It sure has been a great time!



Here we are, March 18, 2000 at St. Anne's Academy in Victoria.

Cousins on the Couch

Here are the four boys ages 7, 5, 3, and 1!!! Doesn't Cory and Bruno look alike?


Trying to get a good picture of Cory and Bruno...they look so similar with their haircuts!

Hope everyone has a great St. Patrick's Day

It was green day at school to commemorate St. Patrick's Day which happens during Spring Break...Ireland is great!

Bruno has the best eyelashes on the planet

Cute Bruno eating an orange...

Parent Teacher Conferences

We went to student lead conferences and the boys showed us how great their school work is...a great job Max and Bruno, and outstanding report cards!

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!!!
