Timothy's Baptism

I was honored to become Timothy's godmother last weekend.  What a fun celebration and a great weekend with my favorite people.  (Since the kids drove out at the beginning of the month, I spared them the 10 hours in the car.)

 

Throwback: Joshua and his father

In honor of the Feast of St. James, here's a picture of Joshua's father (James/Jim) and Baby Joshua.  We are spending today celebrate our own James's half birthday. 

Throwback: Air show with Brian

Throwback photo: Winston's Birthday

Here's a picture my wonderful mother snapped of me celebrating Winston's birthday by (accidentally) singeing his nose with a candle that was held up by dog bones.  I love that my mother allowed me to do this!  According to all the metal on my head (glasses, braces) and the home decorating from the previous owners still present in the house, I must have been in 5th grade when this photo was taken.

Uncle Scott Visits

Alma's godfather Scott visited and watched her for a day filled with swimming at the pool, ice creams, candy, chips and lots of love.  Exactly as it should be!

Isn't this the most darling photo ever? 

Our little sickies

In the last week, the Chisholm kiddos have received the following diagnoses:

* Wood tick (still attached, engorged, still alive) -- Alma
* Hand, foot and mouth -- James and, to a lesser extend, Alma
* Lyme disease -- James
* Molluscum contagiosum -- Alma

Poor kiddos.  Everything will be fine in the end (fingers crossed) but in the meantime they are going through a rough patch.  Luckily, they are chipper and you would be hard-pressed to know that they were sick.

Please keep James and Alma in your prayers so that we can get back to enjoying our summer and not just the pediatrician's office.  Thanks!
