Then: And now: Francis is one year old today! (He was born on 12/20/2012 which is kind of cool if you think about it.) We celebrated by attending Joe's Junior Play--a one-act drama called "Noah and the Flood." (Joe played Noah. Can you tell?) "What the heck?" Francis appears to be thinking. "What's this...stuff on my brother's … [Read more...]
Stuff and Not Fluff on a Saturday
Checking in with this impish grin to say… OMGoodness, I love this book. I am thinking lots of lofty thoughts and you know, I am fond of lofty thoughts! On a good day they draw me closer to God.

Weigh-In Wednesday
(Published on Thursday, because a day late and several dollars short is how I roll.) This post is going to be a hodge-podge of thoughts.

I’m being held captive by a stern (but sweet) one-month-old little man. I’m loving it, don’t get me wrong. It’s just not that conducive to my writing. See? This is me & him & my beloved red sling.

Another “Birth” Story
Welcoming our new baby Catholic! Nicholas was baptized on Epiphany Sunday. I like to think that at the same time the Wise Men found the Christ Child... ...our infant son found his lungs.
