yum, ice cream!

We celebrated Sarah's birthday on Saturday. It is such a blessing to have such wonderful friends and family to surround us as we celebrate Sarah.

Merry Christmas

Simon was a "star" at the children's nativity story at the Christmas vigil mass.

Simon gives Grandma a big thank you hug.

It is hard to get a good shot of the four children together. Andrew looks thrilled, doesn't he?

Waiting to come downstairs to see what Santa brought.

It was a wonderful Christmas at the Wethington's surrounded by family. It was wonderful to have Andrew and Nathan here for their first Christmas and to spend almost a week with us.

Finally, the gingerbread house is done! Simon has asked me daily for two weeks straight!

Fall Fun

A visit from Mr. Berenstain

Yesterday, Mike Berenstain, of the Berenstain bears came to Simon's school. I didn't want to miss seeing him either so came to school along with Sarah. He read one of the latest books which is part of a faith based series. He also showed how the bears are drawn. Mike Berenstain is the son of the original creators of the books and has carried on the books.

Halloween

Han Solo and a good witch!

We had a fun filled Halloween weekend. Friday afternoon were school parties at Sts. Peter and Paul and Sarah's school. Friday night we had our third annual Halloween party. Saturday was of course trick or treating.

I only wish Sarah would have agreed to a picture in her full costume. I don't have one with her witch hat on. She was not in the mood for pictures this weekend.

Melissa and Shane came to celebrate the boy's first Halloween too.
