Earlier in the week Brian watched the kids for me so I could take my walk alone. Afterwards I stopped at the little chapel at the Carmel Mission to visit Our Lord.

This one was taken on Brian’s birthday, which was also Father’s Day. I call it “Walking in dad’s footsteps.” I pray that my sons are as good and holy as their father!

When I make dinner in the evening I like to put on some lively music to get me in a happy cooking mood. The boys will often run into the kitchen to dance while I cook. That is when I grabbed this shot.

I’ve been doing a lot of spring cleaning (with my messes, it is a year-round job) but it makes me happy that someone is helping me out. Matthew is cleaning his car before he takes a ride. (Now if I can get him to clean my car, I’d be super happy!)

My happy boy.

Speaking of my happy boy, I think we need to give him a hair cut. We are finding random bits of food caught in his curls.

Andrew is playing Mario Karts. It was a very intense game. He needed his helmet.

Yesterday we had the trees guys over trimming our pines trees. When the kids looked out the window they freaked out because you couldn’t see his ladder and it looked like he was just flying of walking over the trees. He was like a Chicano superhero.

All this summer vacation fun has us tuckered out. Matthew fell asleep during lunch.

Meanwhile, we couldn’t find his brother John-Paul. That is until we looked in his closet among the stuffed animals.
