Hector's First Feast Day

Since Hector is named after his great-great-grandpa Hector, 

we have deemed that his patron saint should be Saint Isidore the Farmer.

Wednesday, therefore, was the little guy's first Feast Day!

When we read about St. Isidore at prayer time that day 

we learned that he was canonized with a handful of "big names". 

Pretty amazing!

And, for your viewing pleasure, here is a random video of Romeo and EV dancing!

Love, Us.

This and That

The kids and I attended a on-post housing gathering a couple weeks ago.

We won a huge Lobster floaty I'm sure you'll see used in the lake this summer.

The kids also had fun in a little photo booth they had set up there.

Every day brings another piece of this year's schooling to an end!

The end is definitely drawing near!

And...of course, here is yesterday's token snuggle pictures.

Love, Us.

Hector's Hang-Out

In the evenings while mom is cooking or doing dishes Hector starts his long waking period.

He loves to watch people and "talk" to them.

This is his usual hang-out spot.

Love, Us.

Mother's Day Snuggle

We had a great Mother's Day around here.

Mass. Good food. A Long Nap. Pinochle. More Good Food. Some Animated Star Trek. 

It was wonderful!

Here are my only pictures from the day.

She always requires that I document her holding Hector.

At least it guarantees that I have pictures to share the following day!

Love, Us.

First Beach Visit of the Year

It was in the mid-80's yesterday, so the kids' nagging succeeded in getting us to the beach!

Hector stayed out of the rays and enjoyed some not-too-sandy tummy time.

Love, Us.

Yesterday: Inside and Out

It has been getting to the mid-80's around here this week!

As a result, here is what it looked like around here yesterday afternoon.

Inside:

And Outside:

Love, Us.

Costume Antics

Yesterday was a costume day around here.

Behold: Captain Spidey with a bow and a sword!

She took a break on the front step to color with Patch.

It is GORGEOUS around here: 70's and super sunny!

And here is David's get-up from yesterday. 

A true blast from the past, which brought back lots of memories of Little Dave.

Love, Us.
