I am so excited!!! The circus is coming to town and it is not JUST a circus, it is an old-fashioned circus with a tent!!! It is sponsored by JCCC and is coming in just a few weeks. We have never taken the boys to a circus and this seems like a good place to start. I am even more intrigued after reading Water for Elephants.

Tuesday-Boca Burgers and Cole Slaw
Wednesday-Asian Salad
Thursday-Colm's Birthday-out to eat
Friday-School Picnic
Saturday-Italian Sausage and Tortellini Soup
Sunday-Tatum's Confirmation Dinner

The Dream was our latest read for Book Club. I had recommended it to the group because I had read another book of his call The Invisible Wall which I had really liked. Both are memoirs; one focuses on his life with his family once they immigrate to the United States and the other is about life with his family on a very poor street in England. I think I liked The Invisible Wall better, but would really recommend either one.

Colm is going to turn five this week!!!! We started off his birthday week with a family birthday party.

That's my boy!!!!

In the afternoon we went to Sean's aunt and uncle's house for food, fun and family. There was a new baby born into the family on Christmas Day, so there were FIVE generations at Easter dinner today. Amazing!!!!
