A Bishop, a Baby…

June 15, 2009 by Minnesota Mom Filed Under: Hearth & Home, Minnesota Me, New Baby, The Faith 9 Comments

Name Day I

And a book giveaway! These things do happen (name that quote) but not quite yet. I’m thinking later today sometime.

First, the laundry.

And then, the fun.

Aren’t you ever so pleased my priorities are straight?

*Updated to Add: Well, I am not going to make my self-imposed deadline and I am sorrowful beyond all reason. Please tell me that you still love me, as I am up to my eyebrows in stress & mess and would do very well to hear it.

See you soon? I certainly hope so. : )

    Finally! For that you get entered into the book giveaway twice,
    dear Theresa.

    We love Carlotta, though she is certainly given a run for her money by the many other divas in our home.

    ahhh Phantom of the Opera. My favorite show forever and ever. Amen. 🙂 Drat you for beating me to it! (kidding)

    When I used to get MRIs I would run through the libretto of Phantom in my head. Of course that just reminded me of how long I"d been in that stupid scanner….

    Now Margaret dear, you should have asked the question, "Name that church!" I would have had a chance at the win 🙂

    It was great to see you and meet your beautiful Anthony on his Feast day. What a fantastic picture with our wonderful Bishop!

    You look great and your family was SO thrilled that you snuck up on them – I will never forget the looks on their faces when they saw you!

    Get some rest and let me know if you'd like any more of that altar wine – I have my connections… 🙂

    Now, I wish we'd have been able to go!!! What a great picture of Bishop Aquilla with your dear baby. That's definitely a picture of someone who appreciates every little soul – the look of joy on Bishops face is pure joy.

    What a wonderful picture of love! Keeping priorities straight– you're really on a roll. I just stuck laundry in myself, but I'm a good 12 hours behind your start 🙂 When you overhear your daughter telling the neighbor that there are no more clean socks you know you have to get to it!

    What a beautiful photo! I managed to get in three loads of laundry today… I ended up falling behind this past weekend — and after playing "catch-up" on the house today I'm more than ready for bedtime tonight!!
    Peace be with you and your little Anthony,
    ~Jenny

    Yes, I love the look on the Bishop's face, as well as the baby too!

    Not good at quotes, can't even remember stars' names, I'm more like "Remember that guy, in that movie that said that really funny thing…?"

    No deadlines, we are moms, we understand!!

    Call me "James" anything…I like it!

Hi there!

I’m Margaret in Minnesota, and this is my mom's-eye perspective of a kid-heavy life. I love the Lord; I take lots of photos; and I always try to tell it like it is, from sex to depression and everything in between! I hope you enjoy your time here. ♥
