Sr. Mary

Our little Sister Mary has a new name. Sister Anne Therese - (pronounced te rez) - as in Saint Therese of Lisieux.
What a beautiful name for a beautiful woman.

Her parents made phone calls to announce her new name just as parents announce the arrival of a new child. it was so awesome to get the call :)

I can't wait to see pictures of her in her new habit and veil. She was so excited about her wedding dress when she was home in May. She has sewn the entire thing herself. with not a little seam ripping occurring. lol

and he is off...

Today our son Nick left for basic training. He has waited so long for this day. Today he left as a newly engaged man leaving a woman who understands his desire and need to do this as much as his family does. And we will miss him but in just 9 weeks we will see him graduate and in a few months he will be back planning their wedding.


Congratulations Nick
Be Safe
We Love You

love Ma (and Pa)
