Pictures

Keera's first assignment this year was to name some favorite things and bring in pictures.  We started a hunt through photo box, which was all mixed up (hmm....wonder who was in it last).  Some of the pictures really jumped out at me, so I started pulling pictures that I thought were good pictures of the people who were important to us.  I decided to blog a picture everytime I blogged.  I am not sure how this is going to go, but I separated the pictures into my family/Hogan/Petit, McAvoy and us/Reed and us and started scanning.  This is only the beginning, but as I start making more books out of my blogs, I want these pictures remembered!
This is how it all started-Neil (picture 2009 (?) in Virginia vacation) and Elaine - 1980 Thanksgiving in Long Island.

This is generation two starting - Bob and My wedding 1991 (October 5th).  This is not Bob and Maureen but Uncle Ken, Aunt Kate, Liz and Amy.  I thought this was a really nice picture of the four of them, so I wanted to put it in.

This is again Oct. 5th, 1991 - Liz and Amy with their Grandmother Ruth.  Ruth passed away earlier this year (I believe), so I thought since I saw this picture, it would be a nice tribute to Ruth and her granddaughters.

This is two pictures put together.  We had a family reunion in 1996 in Rome, NY.  The top picture is Pat talking with Liz, Chris and Todd. And the bottom picture is Liz.

This is a double picture-same as Pat above-I guess he is just that important.

This is the whole family, including Uncle Tom.  All Spencers, All Vince McAvoy's, All Tom McAvoy's and all Hogans-no one missing!!!

A call

I went to mass last week to be a Eucharistic Minister.  The lectors did not show up (and there was only one other EM with me), so I offered to read.  I told Father I had been a lector years ago.  So in the back of the church, I practiced real quick before I went up.  I guess when God calls....we answer.....and it was really fun to do it again.  So....if women can do all that in one mass, why is it they can't be deacons or priests?  I guess that is yet to come.

"Barn" is open

Obviously Spring has Sprung....the last two weekends Brendan has had friends sleep over above the garage - the barn.  This weekend Brendan is having friends over from school, above the garage...."Dad, these are big guys who will  help set up the pool table."  A 600+ lb pool table). Katie has plans to have friends  sleep over on Saturday and Bob has planned a pizza party for Connor's basketball team on Saturday, above the garage....I think I should start charging a fee for this place!  It's like having a glorified tree house to hang out in.

The feeling of reading a good book

I just listed a new book in my book section, Handle with Care , by Jodi Picoult. It was a long read, and it took me awhile to get into it, but that was more me than the book. It is very well written and the story is incredible. The reason I am blogging about it - I realized yesterday, as I went through like at least 200 pages, every minute I could pick the book up, that a good book is like a friend....once you get into it, you feel like you are a part of it and you have to know the outcome of what is going to happen to those characters who have grown on you. The power of a good book is amazing-when you can't put it down for anything.....unless your four year old says, "Mommy, I want attention." (Even then, guilt ridden, Irish CAtholic that I am....I thought..."I already gave you attention today in many ways....this is my time." Wow-a good book almost succeeding at overcoming the power of my guilt-amazing.)
