along came mrs. wishy washy

The hardest working appliance in our house is probably our dishwasher (right after the washer and dryer..... of course)

So when it quit...it really had us missing our it.

Hand washing dishes started off as a fun task....everyone was more than happy to help wash, rinse and dry the dishes.

But... it quickly turned into a dreaded chore.

"Mommy, when are we getting the dishwasher fixed?"

Oh believe me, we were over joyed to hear that the day had arrived.....the day the new dishwasher was arrived!

Woo Hoo!!

Bye Bye overworked yet very much appreciated dishwasher...

"Bye Mr. Clean hello Mrs. Wishy Washy!"
(who knew the dishwasher had a name--Cookie knew)

Hurray....

It's here... Bam's sacrament of Confirmation....After 2 years of intensive religious classes, volunteering--stewardship, retreats, group projects and social justice projects.
The day is here to honor him...... he's earned it!

He's worked so hard and I'm so very proud of him.
I know he's honored to be receiving his faith sacrament today.

I love my son....

There was plenty of hugs and kisses from his Princess Fifi, Sweetheart, Cookie, Nana and I.
Bam is joyous but I know he's missing his Cheii....who is feeling under the weather and is not in attendance with us today.

CONGRATULATIONS BAM!!!

Bam and his Nana...... "Please NO pictures"

Bam and his Nana....she is his religious sponsor today..... guiding him on his journey.... supporting him spiritually and recognizing his choice. She is great.... she reminds Bam that she is honored to be here for him today.

Perhaps a loved one's who've passed on is joining us on our very special day
....Perhaps

Peace I leave with you,
my peace I give unto you...
John 14:27
Many are the blessings
being wished today for you —
Joy that's deep and lasting,
faith that's strong and true,
Courage if the road seems hard,
guidance on your way,
And Christ's unfailing love and peace
to bless you every day.

reflecting

2011 has come to an end....

It was a great 2011!!

I'm so proud of my Bam, Fifi, Sweetheart, and Cookie for all the accomplishments they've achieved this year.

The future is very promising for them.

I'm happy to have started this mommy blog.

We started the blog in the summer of 2011 with just a few words.

Now my children and I enjoy taking photos, documenting, archiving and editing.
(hopefully in 2012 we will be more timely in posting)
We look forward to sharing more this coming year.
