Look where I am!

Oh yeah, look where you are

That's smile, though 

Max goes to the library

He's not allowed to play with library books, but there are lots of toys

Heritage Farm

We went to Heritage Farm Museum today. The kids got to try all kinds of old farm chores. James helped Tessa pump water

 Next to Lucy, you may recognize her friend Cecelia, who also loves mermaid Barbies

Here's a good chore! Washing rags.

 This one is great! Four kids working on laundry, just like it's 1890

 James was Tessa's official helper today. What a good brother!

 Charlie got in on it too

They have a cow you can "milk"

 Then churn for butter

 Max had a pretty good trip too

 And Tessa convinced Cecelia's mom she should have a ride too

We also saw chickens, which is Lucy's favorite part. They cracked corn with a wheel

 and fed the chickens

Girls

Look at these girls 

Tessa, after Mass in her clip on earrings and chapel veil. 

Nora is excited about cookies

Lucy got earrings and a jewelry box and she's delighted

Winning

What good, sweet sons

Selfie

It took Lucy and I several tries to get a good selfie

Then we needed a silly one. She does it better than me.

Triplet Queens

I think her face is suddenly looking much older. 

Silly Baby

I'm not sure what he's doing, but he's having fun

Most Holy Name of Mary

Look, I can't pull excellent liturgical living off all the time. Sacred Heart of Jesus muffins are great, but I'm not usually that prepared. 

So Mary, our Blessed Mother, got a cake for her birthday last weekend but yesterday for her Most Holy Name we made her name pretty 😂

I like Tessa's confiding expression here

Another one bites the dust

As always, teeth and their looseness are her priority

Attack of the Kleenex Monster

Max has a new hobby

Library

This is a ship

Haircut, part two

I finished it off
