…from today’s meditation in Magnificat magazine. [emphasis mine] “The strength of your convictions joined to a delicate respect for the consciences of others will, perhaps, contribute toward breaking down the absurd prejudice cultivated against us, and you will show successfully that all human knowledge collectively cannot obscure the pure … [Read more...]
Kids in the Kitchen
The “Mommy’s Meatloaf” Edition This post is dedicated to George’s godparents, who don’t like “dwoss” things but who do like George. This is George, Kid Number Six and resident sous-chef: He’s three, going on 30. Seriously, how many 3-year-olds like to help their mom make meatloaf? Exactly all of them, that’s how … [Read more...]
Saturday This & Saturday That
My beloved is at a conference all day, leaving me to clean the house sneak in a blog post. Please direct your attention to my freshly windexed windows and do. not. judge. In any case, who wants to scrub toilets when there’s a baby on hand? Not me. I have teenaged sons for that. * * * Speaking of babies and their defense... Did you see … [Read more...]
What is truth?
I will tell you what I think it is. Truth is goodness, sweetness, cuteness and light. Truth is love…and hope…and a grinning baby. (This despite the indignity of a wearing a diaper on one’s head.)

As per that subject, I submit to you our Easter 2013 family photo. (One of them, anyway.) Why, you may ask, did we take the photo outside the … [Read more...]
Changes for Felicity
Take a look at the following photo and tell me if you can spot the differences: I’ll wait. (Hint: It has nothing to do with the position of her bookmark.) Yep, Felicity had over ten inches of her hair lopped off by Kelsey, my favorite stylist. Because this was a Locks of Love donation, Kelsey cut her hair for free. What a … [Read more...]

Home for a VERY Happy Easter
He is risen! Comments are open! Alleluia! (What? Did I screw up the acclamation?) We returned yesterday afternoon from an absolutely lovely couple days in North Dakota. 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...]
