In Memory of...

We will remember Max living for Christ in the little ways.
He has always made people feel welcome just with his BIG smile.
The church was filled at his funeral. How beautiful so many people's lives that he touched.

The tables had these signs on all of them at the reception after the funeral

July 4th Family Time in New Orleans - July 4th 2018

On our way to New Orleans after getting Tink in Baton Rouge for July 4th family party

Meemaw is dressed for the holiday

The boys are enjoying the day

The girls play a fun game!

Where is Waldo? - Only Fake people are in the Frame. B needs someone to put real pics in there. I so, understand!

Generational Truck! New to J but it was owned by his 2 cousins before he bought it
Proud of him. He bought with his savings.

Not Sure what that is he is holding

End of the night is now complete - we are playing Kitty (Michigan Rummy)

Meemaw is happy. She will be VERY happy later as she beat everyone at the end of the night

Back to Baton Rouge!

First Confession

Peanut had his First Confession this month at St. Anthony of Padua. So proud of him!

As Catholics, it's an important day! Peanut couldn't wait until he went to his first confession.

After, he wanted to spend time in church with Jesus in the tabernacle.

We, then prayed to Mary in front of her statue. Peanut has a special devotion to our Blessed Mother.

He always wants to visit the garden in between the Adoration chapel and the church. So, of course on this special day, he wanted to spend time there.

He calls it Jesus's garden.

I felt blessed to share this day with him. While in the garden reflecting, I thought... This is the way it's supposed to be for us

New starts

Goodbye to our old van. We will miss it.

Jim saw an email that our good friends needed to buy a car. After some discussion, we decided we wanted share our blessings so we sold our van for a good price. I admit I was caught off guard and was not ready to get a new vehicle. But, I do love that my husband was so generous and was thinking of others.

Here is the new van. Peanut calls it his dream car.

J and C are getting an upgrade and We were certainly blessed in return. It has a few fun features. I really like the trunk release and the back up camera. Oh! It has audio Bluetooth for my phone. Yay!
