Playing catch-up

No, I haven't died. I just have not have time to blog.

I've been busy on deadlines for two videos for Integrity, then tending to a husband very suddenly and seriously ill with pneumonia [he is completely recovered, thanks be to God], then I was fighting the sinus infection from Hell, all while trying to keep up with work, the garden, the grandkids, all the good things happening in the Diocese of Fort Worth and life in general.

Several important family events happened. We celebrated Mother's Day:

My 91-year-old mother is sitting next to Gayland as the assembled clan eats, drinks and talks.

My daughter and her husband, two of my three brothers and nephews and grandchildren helped celebrate the day.

My beautiful daughter and her two gorgeous boys -- not that I'm biased or anything . . .


My son-in-law sends the boys flying on the swing, to their great delight.

What fun!
Then we all attended Gavin's play at his pre-school. He was a scarecrow.

He remembered all his lines.

He remembered all his gestures.

He liked his costume.

It was a good day.

And we all attended Curran's piano recital.

He was very poised and calm.

He played his piece accurately and well.

He even seemed to enjoy it a little bit.

Next came Gavin's "graduation" from preschool, which made his Mom and Dad a little teary-eyed.

It was a serious occasion for Gavin.

All the class was dressed in their very best.

Mrs. Ishrat will miss him -- and he will miss her!
