Ramona's First Communion

Ramona celebrated the reception of her third sacrament in 12 months in the Catholic church, Holy Communion. She's moving quickly on her path of spirituality these days. She picked out her own dress, which was floor length, and looked very beautiful in her satin jacket and veil. Jeb and I could see a future bride that day, and it was scary, but a reality that we will probably some day face. Here are some pics of the day. We had both sets of grandparents and god parents in attendance, as well as a great uncle (my grandpa's brother). Our big group had a casual lunch out and then enjoyed time working on the house and pool later that day.

Hanging with Sylvia and Morels

Sylvia is home today and we shot a little video together. She loves "making movies"!

Also, it's Morel season! We had a nice haul from Spencer this weekend, about 60 Morels!

Easter at the Hollywood Farm

Some people ask why it's called the Hollywood Farm, well it's because the people who live there moved back straight from Hollywood, CA. They were both doing fun things in the film industry and decided to raise the kids close to the grandparents outside of the wild world of Orange County. The farm is in Greenfield, IN and we simply love going there.

On Easter Jeb came down with some flu-like symptoms, still fighting off his pre-Disney flu we think. So our trip to South Bend was cancelled. The Shaver family graciously let us join them for a late lunch and egg hunt. Ramona and the dads ended up hiding 84 eggs for the little ones, all but 4 were found (some were plastic). We came bearing the annual bunny cake, which is always a crowd pleaser.
