As Promised

 Cecilia holds her own around here. George was getting a little too up in her face, so she responded by a full on attack with her new set of choppers.


 The kids got all dressed up for our church's All Saint's Day party. Not sure how, but I pulled off getting all 6 in costumes and out the door on time for the party. Elizabeth is Our Lady, Olivia is St. Bernadette, Pauly is St. Padre Pio, Gabriella is St. Gabriel the Archangel, George is St. George the dragon slayer (yes, he was wearing the dragon and proudly carried around his sword) and Cecila was St. Cecilia of course. They had a great time.
 Cecilia has everyone wrapped around her chubby little finger.

Cecilia is walking everywhere. Only she and Olivia have walked this early. Cecilia is definitely determined to get to where she wants to go and do what she wants. I'm thinking I just cannot create any other type of child. It is pretty fun to have her toddling about the house.





And Gabriella got new glasses today. She was super excited until we got home, and then I couldn't get her to get out of the van. She thought everyone was going to laugh at her. Many tears, brownie baking, and a few encouraging words later, she finally put them on. She's adorable! I cannot even count how many times I cleaned. The dr said she could put them to bed after dinner if her eyes were tired, and they were, so we put them nicely in her pretty pink purse for the night. This should be interesting; she is a whole new kind of feisty and stubborn, and I know both well.

Sorry Folks

Sorry it has been so long since I've posted about our beautiful family. It is on my mind, but let's be honest- lots of stuff is on my mind. What I actually accomplish other than insuring my beautiful children are kept fed, clean, and safe, oh yeah and educated, is all just icing on the cake. I had a pretty tough spell with some depression and am thankfully feeling so much better, but now I have to make up for the time I did not. So, I am painting the house, yes again. I need fresh and clean walls; makes me happy. I promise to post pictures soon. Cecilia is walking almost running around the house after all the kids now, and I have some pretty cute pictures to share. Offerring up prayers that you are all well.
