Beautiful trees near my work |
Just take my word for it that Eamon is out on the field |
Me and the Other Maggie cheering on the boys |
Eamon's been playing soccer since he was four years old so that's, let me do the math, that's 15 years! I went looking for a photo from his younger days and found this gem of the kids wearing their uniforms which meant it must have been a Saturday in the fall:
Kids ages: 7, 6, 4, 3, 0 |
I was a soccer mom for so long, with up to five kids playing on five different teams many seasons. But now I only have one soccer player left (Declan) which is so strange. Since we have two swimmers, I guess my role is now swim mom? Maggie finished up her (Junior year) season of volleyball this week and played really well. Her team is not the greatest and their league is not the hardest, so it's not really bragging to say she's one of the best even though she is ;)
Quit glazing me Mom. |
JP flew out this morning to visit his girlfriend/friends/cousin at Franciscan for a week. He still hasn't started his job as an ED Tech because apparently the orientation was cancelled and the next one is in November so he is using his free time to visit, do secondary med school applications, and finish up his EMT recertification. This pause between jobs has actually been helpful to allow him time to get everything done. Oh! And he started shadowing our primary care physician last week, which he loves.
Andrew is living the life in the Austrian Alps. They had a dance this past weekend where they dressed up in Austrian garb and learned some folk dances.
Andrew in his Irish cap, that dapper lapper |
I don't know all the names of his guy friends (sorry guys!) but I do know the names of these lovely ladies that Andrew enjoys hanging out with who are also in the nursing program with him:
Say "grüß Gott" to Meg, Al, and Sky |
Andrew is currently on route to Medjugorje with a lot of his classmates for an extended weekend trip. He asked for any prayer requests so that he could pray for them while he is there, so please feel free to comment or email me anything and I will pass it along.
Have a wonderful final October weekend everyone! I hope we can all get some time to relax and enjoy the moments with those we love.
Oh Andrew thank you for being so kind! I am especially praying for my friends Trisha and Nick. Their sweet baby was born still about a month ago and Trisha has been suffering a lot of medical complications ever since on top of all their grief. Also praying for a sweet little baby Molly for a hole in her heart to heal completely!!
ReplyDeleteThis is a great little recap of everyone and look at how many great pics you got and even some throwback ones. Running circles around me! Glad you could find a time to go to the gym that works for you--hope you can get some rest here soon!
Prayers prayed!!
DeleteHow precious of Andrew! Please pray for my granddaughter, Cordelia, as she is dealing with severe anxieties at 10 years old. Thank you!
ReplyDeletePoor girl, prayers prayed!
DeleteCould get add a prayer for Tabitha, who just got a devastating diagnosis? Thank you, Andrew!
ReplyDeletePrayers prayed for Tabitha!
DeleteWhat a sweet boy Andrew is. It looks like he is having a blast! And how wonderful that JP has extra time to get everything done and can enjoy a visit to Franciscan. Looking forward to seeing which dress Maggie chooses!
ReplyDeleteWhen it comes to dress shopping, I thank the Lord I only have one daughter :)
