My 3 youngest grandchildren... 3 girls come around again and again! Mom was telling Therese about her 3 girls starting her family, my 3 then four girls starting my family and now this group of 3 granddaughters to grow up together! Next year they will be running and dancing together at CCC! Yes, Maria is already talking about flying out next year! My heart is so full!
The 7 granddaughters together for grandma to cherish til next year... Baby Jesus in their midst... our family Christmas weekend has become "a Catholic retreat" according to one of my brothers. I love that so much and wish that it could be more! We have started the tradition of saying the rosary together with my parents each morning of camp and that is the Best!
The 3 brown eyed 5 year olds! Rose is the oldest by 6 months and is in Kindergarten, Berna is the youngest and in preschool, and Patrick is a month older than Bernadette and is homeschooled while they are in the . They loved their time together!
Grandma was busy with hair and clothes and of course pictures with babies and Baby Jesus!
Our 2 youngest grandchildren!
The two redheads happily together! Romeo is 3 and Joy is almost 8 months with her first teeth on the bottom!
Jesus is getting a bear hug!
Love the faces... and the peacefulness of being together at CCC!
The masterpiece and the words of St Elizabeth ring true for our family and now our daughters and soon John's marriage to Bobbi - being open to LIFE and raising LIGHTS!
"So has the Lord done for me at a time when he has seen fit..." As ls Lucy said to Nancy; "What part of being open to life didn't you understand?" After facing the pain of the loss of Maximilian at 20 weeks on Thanksgiving, and recalling my similar losses of William and Robert... Jesus is in control and we see his plan laid out before us. Hard to accept and be patient... Yet, we have tremendous love for each other and value all life!!!
John has had some lonely and years of asking The Lord to reveal his plan to him. Now the answer was here all the time, yet the timing had to be right. Thank you, Jesus!
All the way from Tacoma and so happy to be with us all!! So grateful for Family time supreme! Maria reported that they are back home again and all went well.
Paul with a crown on his head and photo bombs from both sides... LOVE!
Grandpa in his happy place... my champion for LIFE and reminding me that the world needs lights!LOVE!
All put away for another year! It goes by way too fast! We cherish every last minute of our precious family time!

Saying goodbye to my parents on the way to the airport yesterday. What delight I have when my family can share some time with my amazing parents, who are managing to stay together in their own home yet.

My mother and father with me at about the same age... yes, there is definitely a family resemblance.
