Pirate Joe--Lucas' first play!

Lucas has been in Drama Kids for a year now and was just in his first play. He got the lead role of Captain Joe Blood. He loves going to play in his class once a week, and is the only homeschooled kid. It's been a great outlet for him and we hope to continue next year.

Trick or treating nearly got rained out. Olivia was St. Kateri Tekakwitha :) Three years as a saint!

Lucas wanted to go with me to my 20 week anatomy scan to see baby. We went to breakfast at Seven Mile Cafe after. He's very interested in baby and can't wait to hold them!

This is our strong and healthy baby #6 :) I wasn't feeling much movement because the placenta is anterior. I am nearly 22 weeks and starting to feel more--Lucas felt the first ones today!

Olivia's First Communion

A couple months ago Olivia celebrated her first Communion :) It was a beautiful Mass and we went to confession together before. She was nervous and had to go first to get the gluten free Host, since in rehearsal with unconsecrated wafers she got a little sick.
    We then had a big dinner and celebration at the house, even though we were leaving really early in the AM for South Dakota.
 

 Some of Olivia's best friends Matthew & Adelaide :) They gave her a beautiful personalized holy water decanter! I'm very proud of her and how intelligent she has become, and not just booksmart, but socially intelligent and caring. It's a great feeling to see both L & O receiving the Eucharist in prayer and adoration.

Kim Dawson Agency

Lucas, Olivia and Frankie were signed to a local model agency for kids in the DFW area. Since Lucas is the only one quite in the "in-demand" size (10), he is on their website. Olivia and Frankie need to size up, but they are still going to get professional photos done soon. For now, I took some of Olivia after her haircut last week. 

  Lucas has gone to a go-see at JCPenney which is headquarted in Plano. It was fun and he danced to "Rocky Top Tennessee" which he requested haha.I have submitted them for a few auditions but haven't ever heard back yet. Olivia went to an audition in Houston for a very popular paper towel ad, but there was a lot of competition. They are being submitted this week for a shoot next month for a cell phone accessory retailer in Austin.
