Less than perfect
Here I am again, trying my hand at blogging. Every time I try, something goes wrong (knock on wood, but not really because that would be superstitious!). Either the app won’t load, or I can’t log in to get my pictures, or I’m just so distracted the moment I start. I’m so easily deterred and

Mercy Faustina
Earlier this summer, we were surprised and delighted to find out another baby was on the way. Being no spring chicken, I was doubtful that God would bless us again. But He did and we were thrilled, although I did have those moments of “what was I thinking? I am way too old for this!”.

Right now
Wednesday evening, dinner has been over for an hour and a half, but the kids ran back outside after eating to savor the last moments of a lovely day. So now, we are trying to get the “dinner chores” done. Teenage girls are taking turns doing dishes and holding baby while listening to the music

A quick Rosary

Not your typical January afternoon
We have been having some crazy weather this winter. Other than a couple cold snaps, it has been unbelievably mild, and even downright warm some days. I love spring-like weather, and I don't do well with the cold, but there is something just not right about walking to get the mail in short sleeves and

A pretty remarkable tree
Ginny, at Small Things, has been inspiring me with her tree pictures. I even got out the book she has been using as a resource, Remarkable Trees of Virginia, from the library with the hope of planning some remarkable tree day trips. Well, I hadn't gotten around to visiting any of the trees in the
