What's going on with us??

Well, let's see. We have next to nothing left in the house--I have discovered once again that we have way too much stuff!! I'm loving not having anything here and really don't want a lot of it back! So all the purging I did before the movers came will happen even more so once we unpack. We are anxiously awaiting the actual move.

The kids are doing great in baseball. Dillan is a riot! When he is focused that child has talent. It's just the focusing on a baseball game when you are 3 thing that is tough. He has some great coaches though who just focus on him quite a bit--really cute! Meghan is playing this year--never has before--and I'll just say it's a good thing she sings because baseball is not for her :) Katie is really enjoying it this year--she plays coaches pitch and she hits really well. Brendan is still on the Italian Little League team and we still think it's a great thing. He is going to try out for catcher this next week I think so we will see how that goes.

I have wound down all my committments and the only thing I'm still volunteering at is centertime once a week in Meghan's Kindergarten classroom. I will be doing that for the next 3 weeks until school is out. It's nice to not be responsible for anything outside the family for a while.

So we are now just finishing up baseball, finishing up school, and relaxing until it is time for the move! YAY!

Talent Show

Meghan was in the school talent show today. They started off 2 weeks ago--anyone who wanted to try out did so in front of their class only and the class voted on who got to move forward. Next those children went before a panel of adult judges one day after school and they picked who got to move forward to the big show today. The big show today was not a competition--just a showcase of the elementary school's best talent. (the video is shaky--I had a 3 year old "helping")

We are very proud of our singer.

(Yes, Meghan did sing the same song she did for her recital--I didn't have a chance to teach her something new--I promise she will learn a new song for her next performance!!)

Brendan is a Boy Scout!!

This weekend Brendan had his final camp out as a Cub Scout. We all went on Saturday to have a fun day of games and playing around at camp. That evening at the camp fire Brendan was presented his Arrow of Light--the highest award in Cub Scouting. After being presented his arrow, he was received into the Boy Scout Troop by 5 of the scouts and the scoutmaster. It was a very special evening. We are very proud of our Scout.

1st Communion

Our Katie had her First Communion on Sunday. We are so proud! Here are a few pictures of the event--the quality isn't great since we weren't allowed to use a flash, but there was a photographer as well so I hope to get some better ones later.

And just for fun... Here is how Dillan dressed himself this morning. Enjoy the laugh!
