Hello Blogger world!  Sorry it has been FOREVER since I have last blogged.  Time has just flown by so quickly and my world has slowed down a little with basketball wrapping up and track just starting that I forgot about my blog post.  For my friends far away, sorry about that.  We are still alive and busy as usual.  Here are some quick updates.

We had a wonderful weekend just pass as Elyse had her confirmation.  Sara, Derek, and the boys came and spent the weekend with us.  They couldn't get enough of "Wayne" and "Alex"......tear, tear for myself.   Cutest site....two little boys trying to wake up a 14 year old(Alex) on Saturday morning!  :)  I don't know how many times Connor came back from Alex's room saying, "Alex no wake up!"  It was adorable!  They didn't give up though and eventually Alex rose from the dead.  The boys had a fun time watching the 500 runners in the "St. Patrick's Brew and Stew 5K" run by our house.  Some of them had on some interesting outfits, which were fun to watch. 

My parents also came up Saturday to spend the day and go to confirmation.  Gma Judy had time to stop after mass as well to celebrate Elyse's confirmation with us, which was very nice!  It was a wonderful weekend, beautiful weather outside, and so great to have everyone over for the weekend!  Lots of laughs!  Thanks to Sara for being Elyse's confirmation sponsor and spending the weekend with us!  Everyone always says that Elyse is so much like my sister, Sara, and I say that is great!

Congratulations to Elyse on her confirmation.  Not only did she have that on Saturday, she had the first indoor track meet for the season.  While she was not too happy with her high jump, she was extremely happy with her run in the 4x200 as the coach told her right afterwards she "had a super run and her speed has increased so much from last year!". Her relay team did well.  He just asked her today if she would like to run the 400 as well and would give her a few days to think about it.....hmmm...what will she do????

Congratulations to Wayne's nieces Miranda and Lydia, who also celebrated their confirmation the same evening.   Everyone looked wonderful!
