Today is the feast of the Annunciation, according to my Magnificat. Can anyone explain to me why this is?? I’m confused. In other, less-confused news, I’m writing a post about Easter and detachment. 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...]

A Good Friday Fight for Life
Subtitled: A Person’s a Person… I changed my mind about not blogging until Easter when I received an email from Kalley Yanta this morning. Apparently the Planned Parenthood people are hosting a “party” outside the St. Paul abortuary (the 3rd largest one in the country, incidentally) today, complete with live band and food truck. Their goal, no … [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...]
A Little Lenten Meditation
I stood at the kitchen window yesterday, wondering if ever the snow would melt…wondering if ever this Lent would end. I miss you guys. I miss your comments. I glanced at our salt dough crown of thorns and smiled to see its thorns half gone. So many sacrifices offered in love for Him! So many thorns tenderly plucked from His crown. I did … [Read more...]
Lenten Check-In
This is a picture of our 3-going-on-4-in-two-months!-year-old George. Photo Credit: Kaylee Do you remember how hard we fought we for this kid? Goodness. Lately George can’t decide if he’s a big boy or not. In fact, this whole thing with [insert new blog name for Baby Nickers here] has pretty much thrown him for a loop, because—on … [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...]
