Big Day!

Today was Michael's first day of school at St. Paul's. He was so excited. He woke up at the crack of dawn, ran to the car and sang the whole way there. A quick kiss and hug and he was off playing with the other kids. I hope everyday goes this well!

Fishing!

Joe bought the boys their first fishing rods. They have been going out back everyday and catching quite a bit. Mike and Hank both got their first fish! Mike got his and reeled it in all on his own:)

Clare's Early Birthday Celebraion

While my family was here, we had an early birthday celebration for Clare. My Mom and Roger put on a great party! They made a steak dinner that was fabulous! The kids got tons of gifts. The special favorite was the kitchen. They love it! They all got rain boots too, which they love. They wear them every time they go fishing now! It was a great party and lots of fun. Clare was head over heels! She changed from her birthday outfit into one of the dresses she was given. They all had a blast!

Family Visit to FL!

My mom and the gang came to visit just before school started! We had so much fun. In fact, Mike and Clare were crying their little hearts out when it was time for them to leave! We went to the pool, the beach, shopping, out to dinner...it was a blast. It is always so sad when it's time to go:(
