Cousins

We had a ton of company for Christmas this year. We were fortunate enough to have nearly everyone come and visit us. This Christmas saw all the cousins together on Christmas morning. It was wonderful!

I took some time off from blogging and my shop to give myself a break while we had all our company and I'm glad I did. I was able to visit and enjoy myself with my family without feeling like I should be doing something else.

While all the kids were here, Mimi and I took them to Falls Park and took pictures of all of them together.

Here is my youngest, Bohdan.

My oldest, Stasiu.


My boys with their cousin, Isaac.

Little Juliet. Isn't she just beautiful?


All of them together. What a picture!

He Caught It!

Saturday was Stas's soccer game. This is his third season and he loves it.

The day started at an obscenely early 8:30 for pictures. This is Stasiu with his team and coach.


This was the first time he's worn the goalie's shirt this season. Daddy is standing behind him coaching him along.
He's got his game face on.

The other team brought the ball down the field and he caught the goal attempt!

Just look at that grin!


I love the sun behind the kids.
