Lambs

New lambs are sweet!  Here's a video if you want to see inside our barn.  6 ewes have given birth (several sets of twins), 4 more to go!
I put this sticker on my water bottle as we drove home from Ohio to New York yesterday.  It took 10 and a half hours, with just 3 short stops for gas, lunch at Long John Silver's, nursing, diaper changes, walk around a bit and to use the restroom.  Really good, compared to the drive there last week.  I thought it would be a good idea to leave our house at 9pm, but we were SO tired and although the kids slept a good chunk, we had to pull over and sleep some, too.  In all, that took 13 hours. Olivia has earned her RN and next she has to take the NCLEX exam.  Hannah is moving from Oregon to Texas, right now.  She was in California yesterday and in Arizona today.  It was wonderful to have our family together. 
This photo of the 7 of us was taken after her RN pinning ceremony Thursday. My mom, sister, her kids and a friend came, also.
Both grandmothers were there to congratulate Olivia on her graduation, which was Friday.
We spent Lazarus Saturday and Palm Sunday at our old parish. Both big boys served in the altar.
A friend gave Elijah this icon of Christ as the Good Shepherd. I thought that was lovely as we have sheep!

sweet lambs! Looks like you all had a great time and boy that's a long drive. The older I get the less I like super long drives like that.

What nice pictures! You have a beautiful family, Martha. And many congratulations to your daughter on her graduation from nursing school. A truly valuable profession, serving so many. I hope she is blessed in it.
