Sacred Heart-Immaculate Heart pancakes

12 Jun 2010 by

My kids love pancakes and you know I’m all about making fun food. So after going to mass, we enjoyed pancakes for the celebrations of the Sacred Heart of Jesus yesterday and the Immaculate Heart of Mary today!

I liked my pancakes with some homemade blueberry jam that I made this week.

Here was our Sacred Heart fruit salad dessert last night.

O, Sacred Heart of Jesus, have mercy on us!

Immaculate Heart of Mary, pray for us!

Pet Butterflies

09 Jun 2010 by

This is old news but….Therese got a butterfly garden for her birthday. And we waited for better weather to order the caterpillars. She loved the butterflies, but we finally had to let them go. It’s the closest thing we have had to pets. (And it’s going to stay that way unless we open our home to some needy fish.)

Here’s one of the painted ladies on our carrot plants after we released them.

Well, the tomatoes on my vines are few, the squash blossom rot got the squash and pumpkin, BUT we still have carrots and my baby likes them!

We went to visit our wonderful friends, the Ceys,  in Houston this past weekend. We made a trip to Galveston beach for the day. Despite the heat we had a blessed time with our friends!

Fulton and I had our first father and son baseball outing this weekend. Although the Cubs took a beating by the Astros, we made the best of it hanging out at Minute Maid Park and sampling the fares. Here’s our line score:
