3-29-2011 ~ Blog #381 (David)
Brigitta's team had their first game tonight; she was thrilled. IHM won the first match. St. Joseph's won the second match which prompted a tie-breaker, which IHM won. Some of my best shots of Britta are of her celebrating the team's points.
Brigitta got a few serves over the net and even returned some shots.
Look how soft that ball is.
All CYO games begin and end with a prayer.

Svea and Brigitta have begun playing volleyball; this is the first time our children have been in any team sports. They both have been enjoying it quite a bit. Brigitta's team, however, has lost 2/3 of their practices to other activities bumping them out of the gym. Svea has attended a volleyball clinic and had three pre-season practice games. Her team's first regular season match was tonight. The first game was a neck and neck nail bitter that went to a tie breaker. I'm proud of Joan for not throwing up. They won the second game by a comfortable margin.
On the way home from last night's volleyball clinic I took advantage of the golden setting sunlight .

Today we laid to rest my uncle and Godfather. I will always have wonderful memories of him and Svea, Brigitta and Annika got to know and will remember him as a kind, funny man who sang his own version of "the alphabet song". I am glad I was able to share him with them for even a little bit.
Obituary from the Akron Beacon Journal:
John Gerard Kelly died peacefully
on Saturday, March 12, 2011, in his Barberton home, surrounded
by his children. After almost ninety years and a very full life
that saw him married to Helen (Honey) Flaherty, the love of his
life, for over fifty- seven years, and with whom he raised ten
children.

(6) 3-6-2011 ~ Blog #379 (David & Joan) On Friday Annika turned six. It's hard to believe that our little tiny baby is one third of the way to adulthood. Svea made her a chocolate cake with strawberries and Brigitta made her a Harry Potter-Ravenclaw T shirt.
(46) I held Annika for the first time on my 40th birthday; that's how I remember my age: Annika's age plus 40.
(OLD)
Harriette's birthday was on March first; here's a movie clip of her blowing out the candles on her cake (cobbler really). I blew it on capturing photos; I blame our crazy schedule since Svea and Brigitta started volleyball on top of German folk dancing, jazz dance class, Annika in ballet and German dancing, Svea in Girl Scouts and Physics Challenge Club and me with my extra curricular school activities.
