What Lewis Has Been Up To


Puzzles with Greta

Baking a giant pizza cookie for our family with grandma Susan. 

Learning to spell, write, and set up emergency call offices. 
Thinking about his future, 
and perfecting his life skills. 

What Augustine Has Been Up To


A big sewing project with grandma Susan. They made two new vestments and stoles for playing Mass. Both turned out very nicely!

Reading to his brothers and creating imaginative games for them to play. 

He’s also been creating a lot of cool Batman stuff with Legos, reading more chapter books, and hatching chicks at school. 

Art Show Prep


We worked hard since last fall on new art!



Painting, sculpting, sketching, collating, mosaics, pointillism, pop art, and more. 








Mud Kitchen Spring Cleaning


We restocked the mud kitchen with fresh supplies!



Hello Spring! We love you!

Hosting Preschool Coop

Well that was super fun! We hosted our preschool coop  for a morning (and a bit of the afternoon!) of fun. 

Snack was Nutella on bread. Elias couldn’t believe that chocolate sandwiches were for snack because his Mom would NEVER allow that. 

We worked on dot painters and paper punches. 

Listened to a bible story. 

Worked on learning about letters. 

Planted seeds of grass. 



And read a fable. We also ate lunch, sang songs, and played a lot!

What Elias Has Been Up To


Baking more mini pies with me and grandma Susan. 



Puzzles with grandpa Mike. 

Playing Mass with new stoles and vestments. 



Breakfast with Daddy’s teammate’s kiddos. 

Playing Mass at home too. 



He needed ALL the rosaries. 
And a scrip table to sell scrip after Mass. (Guess what Grandma Susan does at her parish.)

Visiting his new little buddy. 

Enjoying a very clever preschool activity/story/snack. 

Building with the light blocks in the afternoon sun. 

Putting out fires, of course. 

Visiting a friend for a chilly evening chat on the swing. 

Stopping by station 1 for a quick hello. 

And checking out the ambulance!

Sending Daddy a message and picture about buying new socks. And using his goat horns. Because he’s 3 and he can. 

What Logan & I Have Been Up To


I made mini pies a few times in a row because they’re delicious and pie crust is less than $1 at Aldi. 

Enjoying a cup of coffee on busy days out and about thanks to my lovely long distance friend who was kind enough to think of me. 

I baked my favorite scone recipe for a friend who babysat Levi in a pinch. I had fun creating some lovely packaging. 

Logan lead another Holy Spirit boot camp. I love this picture of him doing what he is so good at. 

Rearranging due to a crawling baby, a fresh spring fee, and acquiring my Grandma’s sideboard made by my Grandpa Carlson. 
Learning how to love four boys at a time.
