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.

The Irony…
I am changing the baby. The children are in the next room quietly cutting paper while listening to Sing-a-Longs and Lullabies. The lively beat of The Sharing Song fills the house. Suddenly, someone shouts, “Hey, those are MY scissors!!!” Ah, so much for sharing, eh? I guess I’ll go clean up all those paper scraps now. Is that The Three R’s I hear?

This is what happens to Little Sister when Big Sister has a friend over:
Molly Articulating
Gabriel is reading The Young Life of Pope John Paul II. Molly loves to pick up books that the older kids are reading and pretend to read them herself. When she picked this one up, big sister Abigail taught her to say “Pope John Paul Two”. It’s just adorable! Here I am prompting her to say it! She’s such a little sunshine!
All the better when it’s big brother!
Mother, It is such a Beautiful Morning
We will will take our breakfast on the veranda.
Okay, so it was more like “Mama, can we eat our oatmeal outside?” Either way it’s cute! This is where my little boys were at 6:30 am, in their jammies and all! I think we’ll have our lunch out there too!
