From Ruth

Outside my Window… barefoot little boys splashing in rain puddles.

I am thinking…about getting dinner started

I am thankful for…my husband’s love for me.

From the kitchen…a steamy mug of coffee.

I am creating…our summer schedule and menu.

I am going…to put the diapers in the wash and start dinner. ;)

I am wearing…A charcoal colored hoodie dress, a blue/gray vintage apron, and black flip-flops.

I am reading… The Catholic Family in the Modern World by Fr. John Hardon

I am hoping…to buy the land to build our house soon!

I am hearing…Mark Benedict nursing with a stuffy nose. :(

Around the house…floors need swept and mopped.

One of my favorite things…chubby baby feet.

A Few Plans For The Rest Of The Week…laundry. renew drivers license. visit the botanical gardens. get the rest of my flowers, tomatoes, and herbs in the ground.

A Picture worth sharing…
This was Mark back in January when we went hiking. He was bundled up on my back, the only thing peeking out were his baby blue eyes! :)

“It was an unexpected flood, that came to me today. Sometimes bad news follows good, and it’s really hard to say Thy will be done.” ~Marie Bellet

We were blessed to spend two weeks with our little Angel. Thank you all for your prayers.

“Oh I will go to the altar, and I will say “Amen”. I’ll open my mouth. And I’ll try again. Thy will be done. Thy will be done…”

Making Laundry Lovely Saturday, Apr 12 2008 

family life Lisbet 1:42 pm

  Is it possible?  Can laundry really be lovely?  Colleen definitely makes it seem possible.   The Simply Lovely Laundry Fair is truly inspiring.  My laundry is so utilitarian.  Laundry is done,  we have a great system,  but it’s not lovely,  not one bit.  This is just what I needed to encourage me to make it so.

Called to Serve Friday, Apr 4 2008 

Blessings of Children and Catholic and Catholic Faith and Christ and Counting my Blessings and The Boys in my life.. and brothers and family and family life and gabe and gratitude and nicholas and siblings Lisbet 9:48 am

  My second son served at the altar last night.  He was beaming.  He was reverent.  He was so happy.    I am so proud of him.  My oldest son served also.  They were together,  aiding Christ’s priest.  I teared up many times.  Two of my sons.    I realized that by the time Markie is old enough to serve,  Nicholas will be twenty two years old.  I made him promise to serve then too,  so all of my sons can serve together.  I will be a blubbering mess when that day comes.
