Homecoming Weekend

HoCo!

Last Friday night, during halftime at the Homecoming Football game, senior fall athletes were recognized with their parents/families.  We left the littles at home because they were tired from late practices and a swimathon that afternoon so our family picture looks so small:

I realize having "one of each" is such a popular family size but to me it looks so empty with the other five we are missing.  

On Saturday, Maggie and Eamon had their homecoming dance.  Once again the report was that it was "lame" because the DJ used his phone/apple music to play the songs and there were no slow songs and all the lights in the gym were on.  Maggie said getting ready with her friends and then hanging out after the dance was super fun though so no regerts!  

Some beach photos pre-lame-dance:

The Boys

My (almost) Irish twins

Eamon and Ellie

Ellie was voted Homecoming Queen and Eamon was voted on the Homecoming court - such royals!  Please note the perfectly matched tie :)

These three are going on a mission trip together in February - beautiful inside and out!

On Sunday, in another homecoming sense, some of my siblings and their families came to visit my parents and watch the Patriots finally win a game.  For living relatively close to one another, we don't see each other nearly enough, so it was a nice time.  And that's a wrap on Homecoming weekend - We've got spirit, yes we do...we've got spirit, how 'bout you?  Next up is a different kind of spirit with Halloween and All Saints Day on the agenda.
