It's been a whole month and not one, I repeat NOT ONE family member wrote me. Go figure. Well at least if you all ask me about getting updates on the family I can throw a few flames your way

Hee, hee. Hey I can do that on my site. Well come to find out I like writing about our days. There have been a few funny things that have taken place in the past month. I really wish I could be much better at writing in my children's journals. I suppose i will have to print out my blog pages and paste them into their journals.
Well Saoirse is one years old now!! Pretty incredible. We forgot to do the "tell the future" tradition for the child's first birthday. IT was a tradition that I did with the other girls, I suppose it's not too late, but maybe the results won't be as accurate. (haa, haa). You put a shot glass, a rosery, a piece of fruit and a coin in front of the child. Then depending on what the child picks up, you find out what their fortune holds for their future. The coin, would be monetery prosperity, the fruit means they will be a farmer, the rosery means they will be a missionary of sorts and the shot glass, well we just have to hope and pray they don't pick that one! Ok, now please understand I don't actually take this all seriously, but My Mom did it with me (and I am sure her mom did it with her...) so it's a cute tradition. But it looks like Saoirse already has given us a hint of her future calling.....a missionary to Africa. How's that? Well today Isabella pointed out that Saoirse had put something into her mouth. Now the girls had gone a bit wild with the animal crackers one day, and I kept finding them here and there. SO I assumed she found one (we had just moved some furniture). I swept her mouth only to discover a bug!!!Yes a BUG!

I was TOTALLY freaked out!!!!
Well I will have to write more later, Jerry just came in with dinner.
