Day 4....yup, more desert!

Hey, girls! This is what we saw on our drive from Tuscon, Arizona and San Diego. Yup...a lot more desert! But look how different every picture is. Mother nature sure is amazing! Miss you! Love, Mom and dad

Hey, girls! Here are some photos from today's trip through Texas and New Mexico. Lots and lots of mountains, plateaus, mesas, brush and cactus, but NO rattlesnakes, thank goodness!

Texas...it's what for breakfast!

Hey, Jenna and Haley! Look what we had for breakfast this morning! Had to make one for you girls! So, the raisin is Houston...you know all about that place. The papaya is Fort Stockton, TX, the middle-of-nowhere Texas, where we stayed last night. Just a few more bites, I mean hours, to go and we will be in New Mexico. Gotta go...before Dad eats it. :) Love you!

"...and that, boys and girls, is why your parents want you to take piano lessons!"

Jenna's First Communion

New Life! New Life! You came to bring us new life.
New Life! New Life! We find such joy in your abundant life.

This was such an special day for Jenna, as she recieved Holy Communion for the very first time. She looked beautiful in her white dress, but it was her smile that really made her shine! We were so blessed to be joined by family for the mass at St. Alphonsus and for a celebration afterwards.

After church, we all headed to Phoenecia for a late breakfast, then continued the party back at our house. There was zip-lining and bubble-blowing for all, followed by yummy cake and punch.
