This is our second attempt at rice cereal. Me thinks he likes it. Charlie grabbed my hand and wouldn't let it go. Look at that face when I ran out. I had to run and make a bottle ASAP before he got too upset.

Here is my darling little Alexandra. She's 10 going on 16 with the big teenager attitude to follow. She really is a great kid, especially when things go her way. This is a book report project that she did last week. I helped cut out the castle, but she created the design and did all the work to put it together. Look how proud she is. THIS IS A DEFINITE A+++++.

Here she is, our "baby girl." How beautiful does she look? She made everyone so very proud today. She loves her new gloves that Mamie gave her. She couldn't wear them for the actual ceremony, but afterwards, she slipped them on and took a couple of really sweet pictures praying to God! She looks like an angel.

We had all the family out to watch her take her first communion. She was a little nervous, but did a great job. She was too afraid to answer any questions that Father Mike gave the children, but you could tell she wanted to say something. After the ceremony, we came back to the house and had a lot of yummy pizza, sandwiches and cake. It was a wonderful day. Thanks to the family for coming out and being with us on this special day.
