Time with Christopher

We have 5 children but only one son. Today we both spent a little bit of time with our boy in two different venues. This morning Annette went on a Gray Middle School 5k Walk with Christopher for a fundraiser to support the needy families at the school. Then this evening Christopher and Adam went to the woods to pursue the mighty Whitetail. It was a good day to be outside and the result was one tired little dude at bedtime.

Sabrina's First Communion

 Our precious girl made her First Communion last Sunday at 9:30 Mass. it was kind of special to be able to share that with the whole church community. She was so excited! A good reminder for us all... to be so excited to be with Jesus!

It was a crazy weekend... out of power for two days and sick kids, but we made it through! Thanks to all the family and friends who helped out!

Prayers for all her class mates who will make their First Communion today at St. Tim's!

Science and Donuts!

We conducted an experiment this morning. We had 5 scientists who were independently evaluating donuts to find the tastiest. For our experiment, the constant variable was the type of donut & the time they were consumed, the independent variable was the bakery and the dependent variable was the taste & texture (at least that's what my 6th grade son tells me). We collected 4 samples all from a bakery along US 42 in Florence. We had Emerson, Dunkin Donuts, Florence Bakery and Paradise Donuts.

Our procedures were to 1) Collect the donuts; 2) Make Observations about sight and smell; 3) Eat the donuts; 4) Record the feel and taste; 5) Select the best and 6) Consume leftover donuts (if any).

After all the results were tallied, the best donut this morning was from Emerson Bakery.
