Sam's 2nd Communion

Sam made is First Communion with Sacred Heart this summer. But I really wanted to throw him a party and have our family experience this special day. So I asked St. Fabian if Sam could also participate with their second graders. I just knew my mom would be better and everything would be "normal". But no luck. My dad did come up for the weekend and the Muntons came too. We did not have a party. But had a fun lunch at our house. It was a special day for Sam.

Summers on the Lake and relaxing weekends

We spent a good amount of the time on the lake this summer. It is fun to have the boat and ride around with the boys jumping off and riding the tube. 

And we love relaxing summers with pjs and loving on the dogs. 

Soccer weekends

 Sam is playing Select soccer. This is his first "season" playing. He is growing and learning so much. We LOVE his coach Adrian. This is the Hattiesburg Canes Tournament and his team won!!

Granddad's 73rd Birthday and Soccer

 Granddad came to visit us for his birthday weekend. Grandmom was in the hospital in Select Medical in Jackson, MS. So we celebrated Granddad with steaks, cookies and soccer. I am glad he came down to be with us. It has been difficult for me to know he was by himself so much while mom was in the hospital. During this time we could not visit mom. We could only look through her hospital window.

Summer 2020

 Hi! Summer 2020 was the most different summer to date. We had to social distance because of the COVID 19 outbreak. Which was very hard. We like to be social and staying away from friends was sad. But we did manage to do things outside that helped. These pictures are from a trip to one of the islands on the coast of MS. We promised we would go back and do this again. 

Roscoe Theodore Munton

This Roscoe Theodore's parents. Roscoe was born on March 14, 2020. 

Picking out Roscoe

During our quarantine we decided our life needed a new puppy. We had already named this puppy - months prior to actually thinking we would get one. But being at home - both Owen and I are working from home - we thought it maybe just the right time to get a dog. So it took a long time to find a golden retriever puppy - apparently we were not the only family with this idea. We found Roscoe in Leakesville, MS. These pictures are the day we went to pick him out. 

Easter

Blogger has changed it's editing options. I am having a trouble putting pictures up. These are pictures from Easter. We did Easter at the house. No church - just online church. Easter bunny did find us - which was fun. We did an Easter Egg hunt in the backyard for the kids. Then we ordered take out from Canebrake CC and enjoyed a relaxing Easter at home. 

During this time of quarantine - it was new - and we loved being in the house and taking life at a slower pace. 

First Confession

 Sam had his First Confession during the quarantine. He did so well. He is such a big kid. And remember the Act of Contrition from months of not saying it at school. 

We looked up videos from YouTube so he could see how confession works. It had been so long since he practiced with his class. 

We got him a rosary from Jerusalem, a Bible book for boys and grandmom and grandad gave him money for a toy.
