Daddy went to Colorado

Daddy went to Colorado a couple of weekends ago.  He went with 3 other Men from our Parish to attend a Patriarch Retreat.  He had a wonderful time.  Met a lot of really great guys and learned a lot about His Faith and how to be the best Patriarch he can be.  We're proud of him for going, and so glad he made it back safely.  14 hours in the car one way, driving straight through, His wife was a little nervous, and she doesn't get nervous about much.

Gem of a place they found for breakfast, seriously

 Excited for Daddy to get home

 Sending Daddy pictures of the kiddos

 Miss Emma trying on snow gear, insisting on taking allllll her clothes off to try on the snowpants

 It was finally Emma's turn for her 1st day of Catechesis of the Good Shepherd! She wasn't excited at all ;)

It's just an hour and a half every other week... She could go to more pre-school, but we only send our kiddos for 2 years, I stay home for a reason.  It's what works for us.  So, she won't start real preschool until next year.  This is a perfect fit, and we've heard such awesome things about this program!

 She wanted to wear a "jumper" just like her sisters

 Running in to school with her Emma Bee back pack

 "THIS WAY TO THE WATER MOUNTAIN" (fountain)

 Beautiful Girl with lots of spunk!

 So fun to have the Joergers stop for a quick visit on their way up to Alexandria!

 Emma got to open an early birthday present from her Godparents.  She was SO excited to finally have her own Viking gear to put on on Sunday! She loves her Godparents!
