Eulogy
This is what will be read tomorrow....for our friends far away....thanks for your thoughts.
This morning when I looked out the kitchen window and looked up at the overgrown green tree which somewhere in the fury of the past six weeks is now some of the most beautiful orange hues you could every see. In that very moment I was reminded it was the very tree my mother loved to look at this time of the year every year. As I thought of what a simple beauty it was my eyes filled with tears as I glanced down and looked at the empty patio and realized there will never be a day I would sit and have coffee in the backyard with my mother or hear her cracking a lobster claw on a summer afternoon.
The simple things, much like the changing in the color of the tree, remind me of the traditions that my mother practiced and preached. She was a mother, a sister a grandmother and a friend to many. She new a great love and she was loved. She was an integral part in the creation of lasting memories for many people. We shared lots of things together and she was one of my favorite mentors.
My mother was a very strong woman and she believed in doing the impossible and than she did it, clearly a quality she passed on.
As a realized it was time to get going with the day I was reminded of one of the last lessons that my mother taught, God uses good people to do great things. And I'm grateful to be able to say thank you, mother, for being a great woman who used your life to share some of those great things. We are blessed because mother left behind a quilt of memories rich with tradition and the attitude that anything is possible if you believe!
We may no longer see her but we’ll always have these special moments we shared with her. She will always have a special part in our hearts, her presence will be greatly missed.

Boston College Camp
This summer Kelsey went to camp at Boston College for four weeks. At first she wasn't too thrilled about it, but it didn't take her long to get adjusted and enjoy going. She really misses her friends a lot, very few days go by they she doesn't talk about Ms. Maria, Dakota, Nicki or Alex from her old school. Today was the last day of camp and they had a fun outdoor BBQ. Here are some pictures from around the campus and at the BBQ. 
The last day of camp they had a nice program and a lunch for family, friends and the kids, catered by BC.
The BC Mascot came to visit the kids.
Also a friendly police offer and his companion were on hand to chat with the kids. Kelsey took on the big sister role and was walking Johnnie around.
It didn't take Kelsey long to warm up to the characters.
The boys
The kids getting ready to go inside to one of the lecture rooms to do their performance.
Shark da - da.....you may know that one. 
Outside the auditorium.
I guess I can no longer be a Notre Dame fan....considering my princess considers herself an Eagle now!
Jumping for joy at the thought of heading home to watch some TV - Ughhhh!

Aunties House
We love to go to Aunties house and swim at the pool. The kids, now very comfortable with the water, have ventured on to trying new things with the noodles. The most fun seems to be he horsey noodle, however, neither of them has mastered how to stay up when they are straddling the noodle. 
The kids with John in the deep end - no fear. They were all practicing their "crab walk" along the wall.
Learning to float.
Some good ole fun!

Me too!
Johnnie has started with a plethora of phrases these days some of which are O Man, See Ya, Where are you, Lets Go and Me too! He sees that Mommy and Sissy where flip flops. I have stayed away from them for him because of his legs, but I broke down and got him a pair. He loves them and was so excited to wear them.
So proud!
Ouuuuu!
Yeah!

Ouuuuu!
Yeah!
