Choked-Up Mama Moment...

Last night as she was rummaging for something to do, Felicity exclaimed "Oh, I know!" and pulled the Children's Dictionary off the shelf to read.

**Sniff** How beautiful ...

Felicity: KofC Youth of the Year



To borrow a phrase from our Aussie cousin, Christine, Felicity was quite chuffed to receive the Youth of the Year award at the Knights of Columbus awards dinner on Saturday. She was awarded this for her help with shopping for every breakfast and for helping out for the last several months cracking eggs, handing out fruit cups, and such like.

Congratulations, Felicity!

(Yes, it looks hand-written, because it is, but a computer-generated form is on its way.)

Digital Archives!

I've realized what a wonderful place a blog is to save all of those artistic creations that fill our house. Here are a few, not so recent, that I've scanned for posterity. Here is a card Kwamai made for me on my last birthday. :)

This is one of Felicity's recent works of art. She loves colors and creating things.


Somehow this came out backwards from the scanner. Kwamai did not really write !MOM backwards. Between the body shape and the hair I could not resist holding on to this one!

Happy feast day

Felicity poses for a few feast day photos.





Today is the feast day of St. Felicity. Actually, it's Sts. Perpetua and Felicity. They were martyrs in Carthage, Tunisia in the year 203. They were young women, both with newborn babies: Perpetua a noblewoman and Felicity a slave. You can read their story here.

Here Come the Wild Pictures








My children are definitely not camera shy.

Reactivation

The stars of the show have been begging me to reactivate this blog, as they have recovered from the embarrassment they once experienced at the realization I was blogging about them.

And now they both can read.

So I guess I can't do much parental editorial.

But that's ok. Every day of parenting is a new and glorious adventure.

Felicity is now begging me to post that they are having a delightful time shredding old financial documents. Honestly, this is a deeply coveted activity in our house.






Guess why Kwamai grabbed a blanket for the photo shoot.
