On the Homefront

Lovely Ladies and Little Girls

Well- all the other girls posted this photo a few weeks ago and I am finally getting around to putting up some photos.  Here are just a few of the very special women in my life who inspire me.  Our prayer group has been a blessing these last few months and I look forward to our monthly gatherings.  Thanks ladies!  (Notice how my daughters could not resist the photo shoot!)

This post is a little late, but we wanted to share some of the photos from the birthday party a few weekends ago.  We missed the BIG bash in honor of Pat’s 30th, but we really enjoyed this intimate gathering.  We love you Uncle Pat!

Julie and Dave

… was to see these lovely friends get married.  Tim and Dave have been friends since high school and Tim was honored to stand with him at the altar as a groomsman.  We adore Julie and were thrilled to be able to share this special day with them.

Tim and Lori

It was so fun to have lots of time with my husband when we went to Texas.  The girls were having fun in Indiana with Grandma, Grandpa and their aunts.  Brendan was with us for the trip, but during the wedding reception he was hanging out with the sweet babysitters Dave and Julie had hired for all the little ones.  Tim and I danced like newlyweds!

Enough said

When I saw this sign just outside of Austin, Texas, I couldn’t help but think of my dad.  I think the Texas way of life would suit my father- lots of sky, lots of fields, lots of space and lots of meat!  I love you Dad!

These are a few of our favorite photos from the swim meet.  Therese is happiest when she is in the water.  After completing her race she asked, “When can I get back in?”
