Maria and Dawn have very generously nominated me for a Thinking Blogger award. I would consider myself to be more a candidate for the Highly Distracted Blogger award, but I thank them both for their … [Read more...]

Oratres Fratres
I would like to thank you all for your kind response to my niece’s photos. I realized later that I failed to ask you in that post to pray for her, which many of you offered to do anyway.

A Note from the Babysitter
Currently I am in a quiet house that is not my own, babysitting a beautiful little girl that is fast asleep. Occasionally I hear the click click of the dog's toenails on the linoleum behind me, but other than that and the hum of the refridgerator, the house is silent.I feel like I'm a teenager. I haven't babysat like this for a very long time and … [Read more...]

One of my kids approached the table and said, “Oh! We’re having….playdoh?”No, I don’t have a photo.And certainly I have no idea why he would have said that.PS. On a slightly more delicious note, … [Read more...]
Before I Formed You in the Womb
My niece Jackie has very graciously said that I may share these poignant images with you. They were taken in the hospital on that day that she both welcomed her son into the world…and watched him leave it.Born prematurely at only 20 weeks’ gestation, this little boy was such a trooper that he fought to live for two full hours. His perfect little … [Read more...]
Adorable
When I was a little girl, my mother spoke out sharply against the secular use of the word “adorable.” Her thought was that only God is adorable—not kitties, or puppies, or even babies.My mother is opinionated. I don’t know who or what inspired this strong sentiment in her—obviously she was being very literal—but she repeated it often enough that I … [Read more...]
