Oh Pickles....

Why do bath times always come to an end?!? Don't worry baby Thomas there is always tomorrow's bath to look forward to :-)

Whoa! Look at Fr. Andrew

So, he was coming along in his recovery, making a gradual but steady progress. Learning to eat again... Learning to move about with healing ribs and altered insides, experimenting with how much activity he could tolerate. Adding, little by little, the building blocks of functioning out there in the fast lane.... THEN there was an exponentially speedy recovery, WOW!
Does he have enough stamina to say Mass? YES!
Does he have enough strength to drive? YES!
Can he go out and have lunch with friends? YES!
Does he want to see his people? YES!
Does he want to get back home to Sacred Heart? YES!
Does he still need fattening up? YES!
Is he still pale? YES!
Does he still get bushed? YES!
Is he excited about getting back in the swing of things? YES!

Messy Boys

Behold... the power of Ellen!

Connolly! To the power of three!

Unchallenged by children of 21 and 9 months, the Connollys are happy to announce the arrival of Awesome Baby Number Three, coming in November to a hospital near you! Ellen, Mike, Pat, and Nate are ecstatic (especially Nate, who got a diaper change shortly after hearing the news).

Baby's picture is posted above (not the most flattering angle, admittedly) as a reminder to everyone to keep the little chimpanzee in your prayers.

Happy Mothers Day!

All Done!

Nate's first Twix bar was delicious.

Here's to Exams

I'm almost done with exams. I've taken government, leadership and navigation so far. Next week is calculus on Monday and chemistry on Wednesday to finish them off. My daily routine has been dominated by studying, but I have strategically peppered it today with liberty. Almost done.
