The past week - in Ormond…

It has been a pretty quiet and calm week at the Newman house. Alex and the four oldest boys have been out of town, even out of the country (more about that in the next post)!! Only David, Maria and I have been home and it has been bc so nice to get to focus on the two of them and just slow down in general. Of course we missed them a lot even if we enjoyed the more quiet life style for a week.

David has been a great helper! He is so responsible and wants things to be right.

Dinner date at a fundraiser for one of our favorite local politicians (and a friend to the family).

David has brought “lasts gris” (throw the pig) and played it with a friend’s kids at the fundraiser and he said that was the best part of the day! 

Yep, we all slept in our big bed :-)

Chilling on the floor. Maria has gotten several beautiful handmade/homemade quilts. 

Watching the full moon.. There were a lot of people watching actually and our being our took this picture of David. 

More snuggles in bed. Maria is actually sleeping. 

Playing the bus game. 

He made thee different “perler crafts”. Should have taken a picture of them. Will try to remember to do that…

Entertaining little sister. As soon as she makes a sound he is right next to her, even if it a a happy sound. ❤️

Helping with the dishes!

Paining a fish “stepping stone”

We have had a great week that went pretty fast (we got quite a bit done while the house was “empty” but we are glad to have everyone back again!!!
