Open House........ALREADY??!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Notice the cute student in the center with the blue and white striped shirt! Welcome to Kindergarten

Victor was ready and proud to introduce everyone.

Maddie being a little shy.


Our Lady of Perpetual Help School....home of the Crusaders



What a masterpiece!!!!!




These are just a few of the things that make it ALL worth while!





So proud of the Letter people

Checking us in and ready to show us around.






So good that I put this on twice....(?)


Self potrait and a happy face at that!

It won't be long.


Maddie enjoyed everything. I think she'll love it next year.

I'm not sure if this should be happening this fast!!! Victor asked me this morning at OLPH, "Didn't we do this just yesterday?" Sure seems like yesterday we were doing this with our own.

We went to lil Victor's open house today at his school. We went to Mass with everyone at 11:00 and then on to the school. He was so proud and you could tell that his teachers, Mrs Timperman and Mrs. Hammond were both happy to see him. Of course, and why not. He is of course the cutest, smartest, sweetest, happiest, kindest and most loving of all their students. Spoken like a true Mamo! I've always been known to be truthful.

Anyway thanks guys for including us. We would not have missed it for the world. Next year with Maddie Sparkles!

The Loss of a dear friend.

On July 3 a dear, dear friend of ours, Chips Cronen returned to Heaven. He will be missed. We pray and ask for prayers for his wife Barbra and sons.
I came across this scripture that seems to be appropriate for Chips, it reads from Ephesians 6: 16-18
"At all times carry faith as a shield; for with it you will be able to put out all the burning arrows shot by the evil one. And accepting salvation as a helmet, and the word of God as the sword which the Spirit gives you. Do all this in prayer, asking for God's help. Pray on every occassion, as the Spirit leads. For this reason keep alert and never give up; pray always for God's people."

This is just one thought that gives "light" to the life of Chips Cronen. He was truly a prayer warrior. I've counted on his prayers many times and will continue to do so..
