Hi! It's been a while since my last weekly update, so buckle up buttercups!
The Franciscan Men's Soccer team made it to the semifinals and played a game in New Jersey on the Saturday before Thanksgiving. Andrew (a team manager) and some of his New England buddies who play on the team decided it would be stupid to travel all the way back to Ohio on the bus, just to turn around and come all the way back home on Tuesday for Thanksgiving break. So they all talked to their parents, who agreed on the stupidity front, and bought plane tickets for a 30 minute flight to Boston on Saturday night. I was so happy that I had spent the day cleaning the big boy's room, and moving the littles out and back to their room. Just in time for Andrew to come home for a whole week!

After JP's last class on Tuesday, Eamon and cousin Tommy drove to Pittsburgh to pick him up and then they all drove home and arrived safely around 1:00 am. While anticipating their arrival, Phil and I took the youngest three kids to see Wicked for Good after school/work and we all enjoyed it, not as much as the first one, but worth seeing. And then finally all of our chickadees were home from college and isn't that one of the best feelings as a mom? Yes, yes, it is. That first homemade dinner after a semester of college food just hits different:
