November 6, 1993

That was the day Chuck asked me to be his girlfriend. Fourteen years, seven children, a few fights, and countless kisses later, I am still so happy that I said "yes". I love you, Sweetie!

God bless!

All Saint's Day

After the evening Mass on Thursday, we attended a party in celebration of All Saint's Day. The children dressed up as a saint and gave clues so that the other attendees could try to guess who they were. In this first picture you see Raechel (on the left) and a friend dressed up as Saints Perpetua and Felicity. Sorry, but I forgot which was which! Each of these courageous women had young children that they gave up in order to be martyred. Mary and Thomas played the parts of their babies. Thomas was also dressed up as St. Joseph.


Here is Daniel. He did such a good job at memorizing his lines: "I was one of the apostles of Jesus. One time when a group of pagans tried to stone me, the rocks turned and hit the throwers. I died in Ephesus. Who am I?" He is dressed as St. John!


Joseph dressed as St. Thomas, and Robert dressed as St. Laurence Justinian. I didn't take nearly as many pictures as I should have. We were having too much fun playing games and eating homemade pizza and goodies. What a fantastic way to honor our older brothers and sisters, the saints, who have gone before us and shown us the way to heaven! May all the saints in heaven pray for us!

God bless!
