It's been a long Covid quarantine! And now we are finally back to being together. Our Festival night was special in so many ways - seeing long missed faces, watching the children run and play together, and experiencing our school come together again as family for a long awaited celebration. In our thoughts were the loved ones we lost and miss, but as we move forward, we celebrate. Many thanks to our administration and faculty who have deftly steered our school and community through this challenging time - you've done an amazing job! And you have made us stronger. I'm so looking forward to the child vaccines coming very soon, the love and warmth of the upcoming winter holidays that we can now share without fear and many more fun and exciting school celebrations for our sweet, dear children. Thank you OLMC for laying the work that allows them to be children, even in difficult times, you are exceptional!
Too. Much. Fun!! OLMC kids really know how to throw down! I'm not sure if it was the candy fuel that bumped this party up to another dimension or just the unparalleled enthusiasm and creativity of our kids, but this was a party for the books! Thank you for including our family in all the festivity and I hope you enjoy the ghastly Halloween portraits!
PS - I hope my super spooky set didn't scare any wee ones - next time the zombie stays home, lesson learned!
Stress buffers, roots, supporters, models, mentors, the shoulders we stand on, these are all titles we give those amazing, resilient people who offer our children a lifetime of love. Whether they are blood or surrogate, it is our honor to give them a special day of recognition and love. So it is also with gratitude that I was able to capture these folks with the little ones they love best. Love makes our world a better place, so thank you for the honor of sharing yours.
Love and Peace-
Debra
This is such a special and exciting time, as we watch our children grow into loving, kind and responsible adults! It's heart warming to watch our family of God grow. I love our St. Pat's Family! Thank you for sharing with us.

Wow! Another year and another amazing, magical evening. My thanks to Near West Family Network for inviting us to join in again! I saw so many amazing dads and of course sO many pretty girls with tons of kind behavior. Making more memories!
Hidden in the Cleveland neighborhood of Old Brooklyn, the Ben Franklin Community Garden is a peaceful oasis of perfection. It's a tiny spot of the earth that God has kissed and where we humans try our hands at beauty. And it feeds us. It is a thriving garden.

Once again we enjoyed the UCS students who came out for a night of high energy and dance! Such great kids and everyone seemed to be having a great time.
REMEMBER -- pictures make great Mother's Day gifts, so get busy with downloads and make Mom something to remember!
Thank you again-

What an amazing bunch of Moms/Grandmoms/Sisters we have! Everyone looked so beautiful and the boys were all so very well behaved. Another wonderful evening with UCS families!
Thank you!

Wow! What a great (and eventful) evening! First, my little girls had the time of their lives. It was so fun to catch glimpses of them here and there while I was shooting. And I appreciate all of you sharing the night with myself and Dr. T! We both enjoy these types of events.
But mostly, I want to mention what an amazing community of wonderful people we are! So many beautiful, kind and polite girls, and it was so nice to meet all the fantastic guys in their lives. I can truly consider our family lucky to be a part of this with all of you. Thank you!
