On the Feast of the Epiphany (January 6th), we gathered as a family to ask God's blessing on our home and family life for this new year of 2021. We prayed that Jesus would invite himself to be a daily guest in our home. Shawn marked our doorway with blessed chalk.

| School masses were attended by 1 grade at a time only, this year due to Covid protocols, however Henry was still blessed to be able to read at mass when 3rd grade went. He read loud and clear! |
 |
| A typical day in our house full of boys |
 |
| Grace and Nicholas entering GA Tech for swim meet where parents are not allowed to enter and watch in person due to Covid protocols |
 |
| Nicholas and Grace both had the awesome opportunity to take Starts and Turns Clinic taught by 2 Olympic swimmers - here they are pictured with Amanda Wier! |
 |
| Family game night - these two had some cool Domino creations! |
 |
| Nicholas won the Martin Luther King Junior Essay contest at his school so was part of an Archdiocese Recognition Celebration via Zoom! |
 |
| Nicholas' love for drawing has been inspiring little man Sam in his drawing lately :-) |
 |
| Grace also loves to draw and color |
 |
| Grace took a spill off her bike in the cul de sac and broke her distal radial bone - Urgent care splinted it and then she went to CHOA ortho for a cast the next day. |
 |
| She was a trooper through it all and never complained. |
 |
| Cast was on for 3 weeks and then she was healed! |
 |
| Nicholas spent a whole day cooking 3 meals and dessert for the family, as part of his reading merit badge, which required him to read an instructional book and follow the directions to make something. |
 |
| Grace has been regularly cooking as well - this day she made French toast sausage bites from her kids cookbook. |
 |
| Henry's scout den had a bird house making day |
 |
| Great job! |
 |
| Shawn and Chad rented a wood splitter one day and took care of our massive fallen oak tree in the front yard - we are set on firewood now!!! The boys had a blast helping out! |
 |
| Again - we regularly have these type of invaders around our home :-) |
 |
| But we also have these sweet moments we cherish!!! |
