God Bless America!

Moments like today make us sad, but very Proud to be an American! Today we buried one of our local soldiers, Sgt Patrick Williamson(Army, 1st Battalion, 17th Infantry Regiment, 5th Stryker Brigade Combat Team, 2nd Infantry Division, Fort Lewis, Wash.).

Many people lined the streets, paying their respect to Sgt. Williamson and his family. We were blessed to be a part of such a solemn, but beautiful witness of sacrifice and bravery.

May Our Sweet Lord hold this family in His Beautiful Arms!

We are so appreciative of all those who have, are, and will fight for this great Nation!

St. Mary Magdalene Relics

We were so blessed to be able to venerate the relics of St Mary Magdalene. First, and foremost she knelt before our crucified Lord, but she is also the saint for which our church is named. It was a very peaceful experience!

# 3 is On the Way!

As many of you guys know #3 is on the way. We are VERY excited the Lord has blessed us with another beautiful life to celebrate. We went to our first doctor's visit on the 2nd. Sorry the picture is not very clear, but nonetheless this is our Lovebug's/Trifecta(still working on the nickname) first and surely not last photo! For all who just see a bunch of snow like on T.V., if you notice the words halfway on the right side of the photo, the baby is slightly to the left. If your eyes are superduper you will see the pointer that measures the length of the baby. I actually think that the sac looks like a dinosaur, hence the picture of the dinosaur. The most important thing is that our baby's heartbeat was very strong! I am 9 weeks pregnant with a due date of June 7th!

St Therese, please continue to intercede for us!

The Little Way

Today we celebrate the feast day of St Therese of Lisieux. She is very special to our family because she is Madeline's patron saint. Today started off very frustrating. I had tried to plan special activities, but found our car had been broken into that morning. It was very discouraging, but it also gave us an opportunity to "be little", and trust in our Lord. Though the day had not started the way we had planned, we still celebrated. We colored St. Therese coloring pages and even had pain perdu (French toast) for supper.
