Update from Upstate NY

I had some photos of events I wanted to share with you.

2013 already has proved to be an eventful year! No BIG news, just the daily in and our of our lives that is always nicer when shared with people you care about! Perhaps this will get too lengthy to manage in one post, and so I may break it down into "installments" - not that I have that much to write, but several photos I wanted to share with you!

Ben's Confirmation
On Sunday April 28, 2013 at 2pm, Ben and his Confirmation Class were welcomed by the Bishop into the Catholic Church as adults. It was a very nicely done Liturgy; Collin was Ben's sponsor and Grandma came to help us celebrate, which was so nice!


 Collin and Ben - two very handsome (and sweet) guys!

Collin, Ben, Bill - my 3 blessings
 My guys - dapper, eh?

 Ben has grown at least 6" since September - getting to be a tall man!

Ben is always clowning!

It's Spring!

Easter brought us unexpected family time. We took an impromptu trip to U of M to see my specialist. While there, we celebrated Easter with some of Bill's family.

And so, we've had a full and blessed early Spring. I am so looking forward to warmer weather, gardening, walking, and replacing my prescribed Vitamin D with the sun! Winter is always difficult for me in a cold climate - but we survived winter (with surprisingly no major illness) and are happy to be embracing Spring!



I wish you all warm breezes, the sun on your face, the smell of flowers blooming, and all the majesty that the natural world and Our God gifts us with each day!

Be at peace!
