Marley's report card

This girl just never ceases to amaze me.  She has consistently wonderful grades.  I'm so proud of her!

Sisters, Priscilla and Marjory

These two sisters had birthdays this week!  My mother-in-law, Priscilla (l) would have been 87 on April 1st, and her sister Marjorie turned 89 on April 7th, the same day that my granddaughter Miriam turned 1.  Yay for April babies!

Project Life App Scrapbook pages - Mason's first cookie decorating at Stacia's, 11 months of Miriam

Stacia sent me a picture last week of Mason's first attempt at decorating cookies at her house this past November.  I had the other pictures so I decided to make a scrapbook page.

Miriam turned 1 this week.  This page is 11 months of Miriam!

Throwback Thursday - One of my favorite toys in the '50's

When Miriam was here the other day we were listening to The Farmer in the Dell song.  I told Paul about a metal Farmer in the Dell toy that I had as a child.  The next thing I knew he found a picture of it on the Internet.  I used to love that thing!

Throwback Thursday - Wait Family in the 1950's

My grandparents, my dad, my aunt Dot, and my aunt Ettie.  We were at Ettie and Bob Lundstrom's home in Norwich, CT for Christmas.

(Note:  my Aunt Dot painted that picture for Ettie).

Mason's Paint Craze, and Dyeing Easter Eggs

I'm lucky that my kids and kids-in-law take pictures and send them to me.  I have been trying to document the things that Mason does in kindergarten, and Paint Craze was one of them.

This past Sunday we went to Janelle's mom's house in Woburn for a corned beef dinner.  After dinner we dyed eggs, an Easter tradition with us.  The older lady pictured here is Lillian.  Lillian is a very close friend of Janelle's family.  She really got into dyeing eggs.  These are the type of things that I feel are important to be documented in my grandchildrens' scrapbooks.

Throwback Thursday - Bethany Pictorial Directories

Tonight Paul, Marley and I are going to Bethany to have our picture taken for the newest Bethany Pictorial Directory.

This will be the 5th time Bethany has done a book, and the 4th time we have done it.

The first time was in 1984.

The second time was in 1994.

Bethany did another book in 2002 but we didn't have our picture in it.


The third time was in 2008.

The fourth one is tonight.  I'll post it when it's available.

UPDATE***

We got our pictures back finally that were taken on March 19, 2015

It was so much fun having them taken with Marley.  She is almost 14!

The Gonsalves in Disney - April 2014

You might have noticed that I have been posting a lot of scrapbook pages using the Project Life App. Have I mentioned lately how much I love this app?  You can do it right on your iPhone, although I have been mostly using my iPad since my phone is older and has a smaller screen.  

These pages are from last year, Spring vacation, when Marley and her Gonsalves family went to Disney.
