<br />
To celebrate the milestone, she sported a wild red wig on her head—an "Ariel" wig—and enjoyed gifts that were princess and fairy-themed through and through. Her fantastically bright cake even matched the fairy-fantasy theme, and Therese reports it was her "best birthday yet"!<br />
<br />
Happy birthday, Sweet Therese Genevieve!<br />

Participating with 650,000 others in the March for Life 2013 was an unforgettable and awe-inspiring experience. We watched the whole event live on the internet while Anna Marie was marching.<br />
<br />
Bless you, Anna Marie, for standing up for the babies and the elderly who do not have a voice. We love you, and we are proud of you!<br />

He died when I was only seventeen. He was one of my favorite people in the whole world, quiet and patient and so loving to all of his crazy grandchildren.<br />
<br />
One night, shortly before Christmas, we received a surprise package in the mail from my dad. Enclosed was Gramps' World War II hat. We had such fun remembering Gramps and talking about him—and sporting that great piece of family history. A treasure.<br />
<br />
How I wish Joe and the kids could have met Gramps. They would have loved him.<br />

I am so grateful to the wonderful teachers in our children's lives.<br />
<br />
Problem is... We have lots o' teachers <i>and</i> lots o' kids, equalling a crazy number of gifts. It can be challenging to come up with a gift plan that is do-able and doesn't absolutely break the bank.<br />
<br />
This year, I actually managed to direct the making of a gift from each of the kids to each of the teachers. Some years, it doesn't quite come off as planned, but this year it worked out pretty well!<br />
<br />
For those who think we couldn't possibly have so many teachers, given our status as homeschoolers, let me quickly relieve you of that impression:<br />
<br />
Kathleen's piano teacher<br />
Andrew's piano teacher<br />
Therese's piano teacher<br />
Anna's band director<br />
William's reading tutor<br />
Anna's Latin teacher<br />
Kathleen's Latin teacher<br />
Andrew's gymnastics teacher<br />
Anna's literature teacher (HFH homeschool co-op)<br />
Kathleen's literature teacher (HFH homeschool co-op)<br />
Anna's gym teacher (HFH homeschool co-op)<br />
Kathleen's gym teacher (HFH homeschool co-op)<br />
Anna's Schola teacher (HFH homeschool co-op)<br />
Kathleen's Schola teacher (HFH homeschool co-op)<br />
William's Science Lab teacher (HFH Homeschool co-op)<br />
Andrew's Science Lab teacher (HFH Homeschool co-op)<br />
Therese's Science Lab teacher (HFH Homeschool co-op)<br />
William's Art teacher (HFH homeschool co-op)<br />
Andrew's Art teacher (HFH homeschool co-op)<br />
Therese's Art teacher (HFH homeschool co-op)<br />
William's Schola teacher (HFH homeschool co-op)<br />
Andrew's Choir teacher (HFH homeschool co-op)<br />
Therese's Choir teacher (HFH homeschool co-op)<br />
<br />
Next year, we will add a band teacher and a flute teacher for Kathleen who is planning on majoring in music and wants to expand her musical knowledge into new instruments.<br />
<br />
This doesn't even count the cross country coaches, the football coaches, and the swimming teachers who teach our kids in other seasons, meaning they miss out on the thrill of those Leone Christmas gifts. ;)<br />
<br />
In addition to giving these gifts to teachers, we also give them to grandparents and Godparents. So that's two more gifts per kid at a minimum, multiplied by five big kids, and that makes ten more gifts. So you can see how Christmas gift-giving gets a little zany around here. And we haven't even started gifts from the two little girls yet...<br />
<br />
Somehow, we did manage to stay sane in the process of it all. "Sane," of course, is a relative term.<br />

While time does fly, it is hard to remember a time before MJ.<br />
<br />
Miss Marguerite fills our lives with such joy. We pray for her birthmother each night and are forever grateful that she chose for Marguerite and Lucia the gift of life.<br />
<br />
We love you, Marguerite! Happy birthday!<br />

<br />
Anna set personal records consistently throughout the season and was very pleased with her strength and improvement over the season. After the groin injury last season, Anna Marie was happy that she remained healthy this year. Her shin splints started catching up with her at the end, but not enough to take her out of any meets.<br />
<br />
We are so proud of you, Anna Marie!<br />

My friend Angela and I have been running this middle school summer running program for four years, but handed it off to a talented bunch of high schoolers this year. Those high schoolers included Anna Marie and Kathleen. They did amazing things with the program this year (and provided a much-needed break for some moms).<br />

Frassati Runners, our July running clinic, started for the season, and we prepared for the start of cross country practices. Meanwhile, the little girls did what they do best—played to their little hearts' content, with dress-up being a favorite.<br />

It would be William's first time away from home for anything more than a night.

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">William is home!!!! Never, ever was I so happy to see William. What a long week.<br />William endured severe storms that brought down their tent, a bout of pink eye, and one of the hottest weeks on record—<br />and survived to tell the tale. Can you tell how happy Mom is in this photo? </td></tr>
