November

On Vocations day, several seminarians came to QA to visit with the kids and play with them at recess

On Veteran's Day the Scouts and Knights of Columbus held a flag retirement ceremony at SPC - all the boys helped and it was very nice!

State cross country meet at Carrollton

Sam took a few pitching lessons from minor league Dodgers player Ben Harris - he was great!

Monsignor Frank McNamee, came back from Christ the King to visit St Peter Chanel for the 20th anniversary all clergy mass.  He was the founding priest of our current SPC parish but we met him at CTK right after he moved there (before we moved to Roswell).  He journeyed through the pregnancy with Juliana with us and was the one who came to the hospital on that very early Thanksgiving morning in 2009 to baptize her right after she was born before she passed away 1 1/2 hrs later.  He then said her funeral mass for us as well.  So he is very special to us - I got teary and choked up talking to him - it was such a blessing to see him!

Our "Grandpa tree" bloomed beautiful this year!

The BT Cross Country team had a great send off to the State Meet.  Only the top 7 runners actually run - Nicholas was 8th - which meant he was the first alternate and part of the team but did not actually run. But to even be in that spot as a Freshman was a great accomplishment and we were so proud of him and excited for the whole team!

BT Boys placed 2nd in State and Girls placed 3rd - best XC team in BT history!!!

Grace and Henry ran in the USATF Regional cross country meet in Lakeland, FL.  The both ran great and earned their spots in the national meet!!!

Lakeland FL is known as "Swan City" so we had to check them out while there - so beautiful!

On Juliana's birthday we visited her gravesite to pay our respects and pray to her telling her how much we love and miss her!!!
