(only the highlights, I promise) Note Number I: Sacerdotal Ordination That's a fancy term for becoming a priest. "Fancy" as in, oh my goodness, ten new priests! My family attended this ceremony on Saturday morning. It was very beautiful and very long. "Long" as in three hours total. "Three hours total" as in so very worth it. … [Read more...]
Four short years ago today…
...God gave us our miracle baby! (It was actually nine months before that but, you know.) ~ Happy 4th Birthday, George! ~ George is a smart and funny little kid—a bit spoiled, if you must know the truth, but that’s to be expected. He loves Minecraft, Angry Birds, Phineas & Ferb (especially playing Agent P.), doing his spelling on … [Read more...]
Happy Mother’s Day!
I hope you have (had? are having?) an awesome day! This was the family photo that we took last night, minus the 3-year-old who passed out in front of the movie. We celebrated Mother’s Day Eve because, on a whim and in a fit of inspiration, I decided yesterday to drive up to North Dakota today. (Don’t tell my mom! I’m surprising her for … [Read more...]

Grandma and Grandpa met Baby Francis for the first time, I got to see three of my four beautiful sisters, and Cate, Felicity & I took over 200 photos. LOVE having these … [Read more...]

“Today is the Day…”
“…that Jesus Christ established the Eucharist.” I heard these words just now on the Drew Mariani show and was inspired to do a quick Triduum post. Inspired, I tell you! I’m sure it was the Holy Spirit. Plus it’s my daddy’s 88th birthday today and since he’s the sweetest—the sweetest!—man in the world, I’m wondering if you would say a prayer for … [Read more...]
Check Mate
George and Felicity are playing chess. (This after much cajoling on George’s part.) Every time Felicity makes a clever move, George says cheerfully, “I can still kill you!” Only, in the way he says it: “I tan ‘till till you!” My heart. It melts. * * * Happy St. Patrick’s Day Saturday, everyone! We’re having a party … [Read more...]
Sunday Snippets
Ed. Note: I had originally intended to publish this as part of “7 Quick Takes Friday,” then thought, hey, if I post it on Sunday I can leave the comments open! Is that…cheating, do you think? Of course it is! So sue me! Better yet, get my husband to sue me. He needs the work. [1] Speaking of John, he had a birthday last week. (He’s four … [Read more...]
