Sew... what a day!

Zachary wanted to make his baby sister a shirt. So we got out a needle and thread, scissors, and fleece. Vincent saw those polka dots and just had to make a shirt for himself!

Below are some pics from Zachary's 8th Birthday today. He started the day with opening gifts from mom and dad and one from Gramma Cathy. One present was an airplane that flies in circles and lands when the charge is empty. It flew high and far and lasted for several minutes. Jason and the boys drove a couple properites west of us to retrieve it. After that we drove to Ripon for our Catholic homeschool group gathering. Then we met dad at Zack's favorite restaurant, Santiago's in Stockton. There we enjoyed lunch and a cake. Then we headed to the mall to dropped off the lawn mower at Sears and play in the indoor playground. Then off to violin lessons and now Zack is with Dad at the healing mass at St. George's. A busy day!

Happy Halloween!

Here are my two handsome boys. Father Zachary and Cowboy Vincent.

Francesca Cabrini

Here's our brand new baby daughter! She was born October 29 at 5:00 am. She weighed 7 lbs. 11 oz. and is 21 inches long. She's so soft, warm, and cuddly. She makes sweet little baby sounds. Vincent and Zachary are very proud of their new sister. She shares her birthday with her uncle Ray and second cousin Laura. She is named after the first Cannonized American saint, Mother Cabrini.
