End of the School Week

This morning was the school Mass. As always I love going to Mass with my boys. Spending time with them and Jesus is a great way to reconnect with Christ. It is easy to get busy and not slow down, but this really helps me stay connected and on track.
I came home and got to work around the house and on editing. I am not behind but it would be easy to get there. I am trying to get completely caught up. We will see what happens. I almost have my kitchen back under control, which is nice. Now to get everything I need to on eBay. Who knows if or when it will happen, but I am doing my best. I also have a lot to get shipped, I am hoping tomorrow or Friday. Again we will see.
The weather took my photo shoot to the square in my calendar for next week. Better to be safe than get caught in a storm.
The boys had a great day and John Michael finished the week with all green faces. It was a three day week I know, but it is progress and that is what I love!

Sundays

I love Sundays. They are my favorite days of the week. Not because we relax but because we are together. This is what I love about the weekends.

This Sunday started out with a photo shoot for the Hahn family. It was at Morris Avenue and it was freezing! I could not get over how cold it was. Since there were 5 children we went really fast because everyone was freezing. It was great though. Keep an eye for them to appear on the blog at http://www.monicaannephotography.com/ it should not be long as I am working on their photographs now.

After the session we headed to Mass. I love Sunday Mass because the family is together, and that is so important to me that we all attend Mass together. I cannot wait till we are all receiving Jesus, but I do not want John Michael to grow up any faster than he already is. It will happen soon enough. We are all visiting with Jesus together though and that means everything to me.

After Mass we ran through and washed the van. It was scary bad. I am hoping that I can get the boys to get their stuff out so that I can do a deep cleaning on the inside, but that is for another day. Today I was just happy knowing that is clean on the outside.

We then had a quick photo shoot at the Civitan Park in Trussville. The boys love it when I have a shoot there because they can play. I also was able to snag a few shots of them, which is never an easy task. My favorites though are of them playing hot potato with a baseball.

It was a great day! I hope that everyone had a wonderful Sunday!

Today was a great day, I have made some progress in the office, which is definitely a good thing. I like Progress.
I started my day off going to Mass with the boys' school. I enjoy being a part of their day and spending it in Mass reminds me that there is not a better place for my boys to be. I enjoy spending the hour with them, with Jesus, and in prayer.
School uniforms are clean and ready to go for the rest of the week. I love the fact that I do not have to worry about what the boys will wear tomorrow. Uniforms are the best! Just another blessing I was counting today.
Homework is done and the boys both brought home basketball registration forms. I knew that Danny was going to play, but John Michael really wants to play too. I guess we will finish soccer and dive in head first to basketball. I am thankful that they are so involved and that they enjoy sports. While it keeps us busy it also is a lot of fun, and adds to the blessings count.
Not sure what to do about my brakes, I desperately need new front brakes and just do not have the money. Anyone out their feel like doing their good deed by doing my brakes? I could use it. I know that it will all work out, but I have no way to swing it, and with all that is going on from this weekend until Christmas having the ability to stop while driving will definitely come in handy.
So today was our second den meeting for October. We are closing the gap on getting the bear badge which makes me very proud. The boys are working hard. We will even be working at the pack meeting next week. This week, we played board games, learned some facts about Tennessee, and learned a little about photography. It was a lot of fun, and again productive. Now if I can find Danny's book so I can see where we are and what we still need that would be GREAT!!!
Well, the boys are in bed, and since it is now past 10:30 I guess I should head there myself. Prayers for you all tonight!
