Children in Church
Today was the Feast of the Holy Family. There were plenty of families in church this morning with young children and babies who were very vocal. In front of me was a pregnant mom, dad, and 3 young boys. The smallest one would walk back and forth on the pew from one parent to the […]
The Angelus
Today my mom and I went out to deliver her sugar plum loaf. On the way home, we stopped by St. Gabriel Church to see the new statue they erected. It was the archangel Gabriel visiting Mary. It tied in nicely to what I heard today. Even though it is Christmas Eve, the Catholic Church […]

Babies and Babies
We always enjoy videos of babies and baby animals. It just makes a person smile and feel good. When our friend came over today, she shared a video of her 1 year old granddaughter in the wading pool during the 4th of July. She was splashing away and enjoying the toys in the water with […]
Still Doing That
A friend came over today and announced that her daughter is pregnant. She shared pictures of the recent ultrasound of the tiny fetus only about 6 weeks old. She also showed us a 3D ultrasound of a relative’s baby who will be born soon. My mom’s reaction was priceless. She thought the pictures were amazing […]
