Holden Beach

We had a WONDERFUL vacation at Holden Beach this year!

The Seale family is growing by leaps and bounds..

We had 12 little ones from age 10-3 weeks.

It was WILD!

Here are some pictures.

What a BLESSING for the kids to have so many fabulous cousins! WOW!

Our vacation! (Post #1) June 15-23, Springfield VA:

On one of the first days of our vacation, Patrick got to go flying with my dad! They flew in this little plane. Patrick was excited, and not nervous. "What do I have to be nervous about, Grandpa? You are the one who needs to make sure not to crash the plane!" --OK, it's not an exact quote.. but close! I haven't even been up in a plane with my dad yet!!

Francis' Birthday

We went to Battle Creek to celebrate Francis' birthday in June. We swam, went out to dinner at Applebee's with his grandparents, and had a great time!

Happy Independence Day!!!!

This is a picture from last year.. but we went to the same parade today! I forgot my camera :( The whole family rode bikes downtown, with the exception of Liam and Peter, who rode comfortably in a trailer! LOL! Downtown Ypsilanti is about 3 miles from here. The boys were real troopers! James' office is near the parade route. We "parked" our bikes in the office building, and watched the parade!

Afterward, we rode our bikes to our friends' house and ordered pizza for lunch.

We grilled tonight, and the boys are anxiously awaiting darkness.. for fireworks. Well, I am not sure fireworks is really what they are. Nothing that flies or explodes is legal in Michigan. But, they are "good enough" (And safe, too!)

Tonight, we were talking about the declaration of Independence and of course the topics of war, kings, and queens came up!

Francis apparently is quite knowledgeable about Kings and Queens. "No, queens don't fight in wars. They just take care of the castle... and the treasure."

That's it for today! I still need to get beach pics up.. SOON!

I'm BACK!

I guess it is time to update everyone!!

Since I last posted, I found out that I was expecting a little one.. started feeling sick.. miscarried our little one... and went on vacation for 2 weeks. SO, needless to say, things have been a little crazy here. Our little one, BTW is named JoseMaria Jorge (Or JJ for short). S/He was only about 2 and 1/2 cm long. VERY tiny!Here are some pictures.. a quick upate of our family!

Look for pictures of : My cousin, Rob's graduation, a trip to Binder park zoo with the boys in their yellow shirts!, Me in my racing clothes from my 5K, a homeschoolers fieldtrip to a Fire Station, the boys with plastic puzzle pieces connected to rope which is connected to the TV stand. Homemade Video game controllers!, and pics from Pat's last day of school at SSA. A Eucharistic procession.

I will put beach pics up later!!! :)
