Here is a picture from Thanksgiving. My Grandparents house was built in 1892 and when I was a young child my Grandfather renovated the whole house. He would take me to the lumber yard with him and buy load after load of paneling for the walls. Everywhere we went all the people knew my Grandfather. He seemed to know everyone by name. When I saw meghan sitting at the bar where so many of us grew up eating, it really touched my heart. Papa would have really loved to meet Johnny and Meghan. He would have spoiled them rotten with a constant stream of ice cream cones. I am so glad that we can still visit this house that is a part of the family and is so full of memories for all of us.
Granny has turned the back yard into an incredible work of art. It is beautiful and every year it comes more to life. The grandkids and great-grandkids love spending every available moment out back. Here is Meghan and Johnny playing in the snow. The tracks are from the snow shovel Patrick used to gather up enough snow to show Johnny how to make a snow man.
We are having to find indoor fun because the kids are highly contagious and Meghan can't afford any more germs right now. Johnny gets better at building things every year! and he loves it when Meghan doesn't knock things over!
Meghan is still having trouble breathing but that doesn't keep her from enjoying the 80 degree weather we had a couple of days ago. They both really love the sidewalk chaulk!
Johnny isn't happy unless he is running around and making a giant mess! He is quite a busy boy trying help Mehgan have fun while they are house bound.The Live Nativity is next weekend. That means craziness for me. I am so glad we are going to have a week off after to do nothing but relax and hang out with family for Christmas.
I have my two toughest finals tomorrow. So far out of 4 classes I have one confirmed A. I hope I get some sleep tonight so I can do well tomorrow. After next week I will finally know my graduating GPA. I am so excited that it is finally happening!!! It has been so many years since I watched Kevin graduate and thought to myself, "I want to do that too!".

Oh, I just love looking at all the pictures you put on here. The kids are growing so fast. I was looking at the one of Megan sitting at the little bar. So many memories flooded into my mind. I hope that one day all of my kids and even grandkids will be able to be in that house, which is such a part of my growing up.
I have to say, I am so very proud of you and Teresa. I am so excited for both of you. I can't begin to describe the feelings I have thinking about graduation day. I would do anything to be there to see it. Know that I am thinking of you all the time.
Give my two nieces and my nephew a big hug from their Aunt Cathy as soon as you can. And please, as you see everyone else, do the same. I love and miss everyone so much!
Love You!!!
