Dinner in the "Little House" Revisited

3 and a half years ago, I posted the first photo of "dinner in the little house".

Well, it doesn't happen very often anymore, but all 12 of us were home tonight, so I was sure to get a photo!!

I don't have any idea where we will put spouses and grandchildren once they begin arriving, but we will squeeze them in somehow. :-)

You can check out the original "dinner
in the little house" post back from April 2007 here.

Happy Birthday, Becky!!!

{this moment} - A Friday ritual. A single photo - no words - capturing a moment from the week. A simple, special, extraordinary moment. A moment I want to pause, savor and remember. If you're inspired to do the same, leave a link to your 'moment' in the comments at Soulemama for all to find and see.

Happy Birthday, Danny!!!

18 candles---you might catch the house on fire!!

Love you!!

Wordless Wednesday---Leaves, leaves and more leaves

A rough day....

Ten Kids---Picture Perfect

Ten picture perfect children, all together on a Sunday afternoon.

Do you believe I took this photo on the first try!!

Well, I am lying, I think I took about 20 photos of this silly group, and only about 3 are presentable.

But it was a lot of fun trying for the perfect picture.

Looks like the only ones ready are Danny and the dog!

This didn't help, Becky.

They think this is the universal sign for "Go Yankees!!"

Makes My Monday-- Sunday in sepia

Sepia on Sundays not only Make My Monday but they also make me smile.

It won't be much longer and the snow will be flying......

A Blast from the Past--3 years ago today....

Mark and Grace were ready for Halloween.

A Pro-life Pledge of Allegiance

Miracle of the sun spinner

This week we read about Our Lady of Fatima.

Today, October 13, is the anniversary of the Miracle of the Sun witnessed by 70,000 people.

Catholic Icing had this neat craft to commemorate the day.

All that you need is a circle of foam board, markers, and string or embroidery floss.
Simple color your "sun" on both sides of the circle.
Attached the string and make your "sun" dance.
All the information to make these is on the Catholic Icing site. (I wouldn't want to claim this is my own---because I would have never thought of anything like this)

Gracie making her "sun" spin....it takes a while to get the hang of it, but eventually, even the little kids were able to spin their suns.
