Photos from the weekend

Lindsey and Andrew (a Sophomore at St. Ignatius High School) went to St. Ignatius' Winter Formal on Sunday. He and his parents belong to our parish and they got to know each other through Youth Ministry and Youth Liturgy.

He is a great kid and I really like his parents.





By the way, the pencil sketch with the yellow birds, just beyond Andrew's left shoulder is a sketch that Lindsey did for Dave and I last year.

And here is another one.

Lindsey said that they had a great time. There were a number of kids at the dance that she knew.

She also said that Andrew knows how to do ballroom dancing and so they danced all evening and he spent a lot of time with her teaching her steps and how to dance. She said it was soooooo much fun and really very nice to not just be standing and "swaying" to the music.

Also, Sarah called me on Friday at work to tell me that Kyle had asked her to marry him and he gave her a ring. They were gone all weekend. So, my fun was that I never told Lindsey or Zachariah (he would have blabbed). Sarah got home before Lindsey did on Sunday and had gone to bed early. When she was up in the morning, I had her go wake Lindsey to tell her and show her the ring.

It was great fun with lots of screeching and hugging all around.

They are talking about a spring, early summer wedding. So I have a little more than a year to lose lots of weight and knit up a shawl.
