Thanksgiving 2009

Lots to be thankful for - SO much to be thankful for! Among my many blessings are the following Thanksgiving moments and memories. The day started by JP, me, Annie, John and Audrey participating in the Corpus Christi Roadrunners Club Turkey chase - three to four miles depending on whether you take the short cut :)

Pretty table and flowers compliments of JP! Love them!

So much fun being three years old and no one wants the turkey leg!

Can you find Four Happy Turkeys?



Cheers for Turkey Legs!

Cute couple!

Just in time for Christmas

You may remember this post. The Corpus Christi Cathedral choirs spent many hours for a week practicing with orchestras and solists to produce this CD. Now, it's done. It's for sale. And friends, it is EXQUISITE. I can't believe how extraordinarily beautiful the production turned out to be - all singing Our Lord's praises. The CD includes both Christmas favorites, sacred hymns, and pieces that will move your soul. The cover (pictured) is of our cathedral in 2005 when the Christmas snowstorm hit Corpus Christi. How beautiful is that! I bought many copies for friends and family! Currently, you can get a copy via me or order them from www.msrcd.com. As a matter of fact, click here and you can hear some of the audio as well as read lots more about it!!!Very, very proud and humbled to be part of such a beautiful project! We are so blessed with SO much talent!!!

Fall Means School Pictures

In a red polka-dot dress and shoes that I found on sale for her, holding an apple, the prettiest 3.5 year old on the planet. She sings many different songs, tells me stories, says the Pledge of Allegiance and talks about super heroes and her friends at school. Her Mommy is her favorite and I run a close second. She is the light of my life - Audrey Anne.

Halloween 2009

Annie is Hermione (Granger) from Harry Potter, Audrey a pink Bat Girl. BOTH are in seventh heaven. I was asked to make Annies lined cape - I had a blast sewing again! It's been decades as I used to sew my kid's clothes and doll clothes and my clothes -- have missed it! Now I have Audrey's measurements to sew her a beautiful Christmas dress. And Bat Girl spent the night with me - insisting she put her costume back on after her bath as she wanted to sleep in it. She had sweet dreams for sure!
