Good morning! I'll be getting up soon to take the family to 7am Mass, but while I wake up I'm doing just a bit more work on installing ArchBang Linux on a virtual machine. Arch always amazes me in this respect: You boot the operating system and only 60-70 megabytes of your RAM is used up. While being so light, you still get a nice looking setup. 5:34am

Things went well at Mass. I love the readings on the Feast of Corpus Christi. With Claire's oversight Timothy is getting better each time at altar serving. After Mass I dropped Claire off at Subway while the rest of us had breakfast at DFE. 9:00am

The plan this morning is for all of us to take the van to Nashua. I'll take the ladies to the Kohls and take the boys swimming at the Nashua Y. Perhaps when I come back to pick them up, we'll all head to Barnes and Noble. The twins are getting caught up on their reading and need new material... 9:41am

Dropped the ladies off at Kohl's. I took the boys swimming at the Nashua YMCA and then to Barnes and Noble because the girls just wanted to continue shopping. Now the boys and I are just waiting for Michelle, Maria, and Abby... 1:18pm

Got the boys some Jr. Frosty's while the rest of us picked up something at A&E Coffee Roastery on the way home. Also stopped by Market Basket for burgers and chicken to be used on the grill later. Now we're just washing off the back decks. The Heavy Yellow Pollen season should be over now, right?? 2:43pm

Brought Claire home from work. She's worked Friday night, Saturday 1:00pm to closing, and today 8:30am to 3:30pm. Somewhere in here she'll squeeze in her homework. Luckily this is the last week of school. 3:49pm

After the decks were cleaned of pollen, Michelle made dinner on the grill. After cleanup I took a few pictures of the sisters. See below… 7:13pm

Timothy and I went to Haywards Ice Cream to bring Michelle back a Coffee Heath Bar shake. Once I got home I got the boys tucked in bed with their prayers. Good night all! 9:00pm

he took bread, said the blessing,
broke it, gave it to them, and said,
‘Take it; this is my body.’ ” — Mark 14
