Homecoming

Homecoming was last weekend.  We had told the Sophomore that she could not go until next year but then Dad changed his mind under certain conditions.  He would bring her and he would chaperon the dance.  Worked great!  Finding a modest appropriate dress was another thing!  But after a weekend of shopping we put together a beautiful dress!  The priests said she was the prettiest and most modest one there!  She is also very busy rehearsing for the school play "Footloose".  The play is at the end of October.

                                          

This was my view most of our shopping day.  I thought this picture was soooooo cute and said so much!  I have no idea why she picked these socks to wear!  We had a nice day of shopping although it almost wore me out.  The little sister went with us and we made it a fun "girls day". 

The baby sister is now in ballet.  Grace is NOT her middle name!!!!  But she is so sweet.  She has the ballerina build.  Now she just needs to work on a few skills.

I think I am getting hooked on photos of feet...hmmmm.

The little sister, MC, is playing volleyball for the recreational team.  She is having a great time.  She is a great server but we are having a hard time getting her to get under the ball and hit it back over the net.  She is timid, scared of the ball, and needs to work on aggression on the court.  She is having fun though.  She also was elected to the Student Council at school and has the office of secretary.  And she has joined Girl Scouts.  She is keeping me REALLY busy.





That's her, in the front....brown tennys.

The boys are playing soccer every Sunday afternoon.  Joseph has turned out to be an amazing athlete.  He has scored every game and people are always asking us how long he has been playing.  Jerome likes to see how fast his cleats make him run.  He scored the last game although it was for the other team!  But, hey....he is smiling and having a great time!





Ooops, not smiling here.

                                   

The Star...always smiling.

Our little Scottish boy got off to school safe and sound.  He didn't do too much damage to his life over the summer.  He enjoyed a junior class trip to Scotland and Ireland.  He is proud of his souvenir!  He is now a senior!!!!  He is busy playing soccer and hopefully throwing a little school in the mix.  

The two oldest are busy with their lives.  My oldest princess is working as a CNA at Madonna Hospital!  And my oldest blessing is busy being a husband and father....at least I hope he is! 

Dave is one class away from graduating!  I am busy packing to move.  I am also staying busy reading and studying what autism resources are available to us.  I post those updates on Joseph's blog if you are interested.
