Another Baseball Game with Liam

Went Saturday night to one of Liam's tournament games. It was a beautiful night to watch Liam play and to visit with Renee. Forgot to take Renee's picture. Keegan was there too, and I did get his picture. Liam's team lost, but they played a great game. Liam caught a ball and threw it to first to get the runner out. Good job, Liam!!

A Day at Forest Lake

Been trying to take Calvin, Maisie and Carson to Forest Lake for an hour when I babysit. We go in the morning, come home for lunch, and then Carson takes his nap and Calvin and Maisie play. Mimi rests!!

Beach Day

Mimi was only going to spend an hour on the beach, but spent three!! Enjoyed every minute of it and plan to return! I might even swim in the ocean, if it happens to be a warm water day!!

National Shrine of Divine Mercy

On Friday July 6, Eizabeth, Calvin, Zachary and I went to the shrine in Stockbridge. It was a 2 and 1/2 hour drive - not bad. We stopped along the Mass Pike to get snacks and arrived in time to walk the shrine grounds. Elizabeth had never been so the boys enjoyed showing her around. We then went to their favorite place for lunch, Friendlys, but found that it had closed down so we found another place nearby. We then returned to the shrine, visited the gift shop and then went to the Church for Adoration, confession, rosary, Mass, and then the Chaplet. It was around 4pm when we headed home. Beautiful weather, great day!!

Fourth of July at Uncle Kenny's

Some of the family gathered at Uncle Kenny's house on the 4th of July for his great cooking!! Realized that I didn't get any pictures of Shawn and his family or Rich, Kellie's husband, or his parents or Paula or Paula's sister and her family or Marlene and Tom or Robin. So much for my picture taking!! Next year!!
