A brief time-out

I promise something worthy of your reading time just as soon as we are fully recovered from the flu (me) and knee surgery (Joe).

A full report of Advent reflections and 5th birthday joy will follow just as soon as we regain order in this place!

In the meantime, could i squeeze a few intercessory "Hail Marys" out of you? Thanks!

Leopold is ONE!

A glimmer of yesterday's joy:



I can't believe it, either! My third baby is already a year old! And he's a real sweetheart, too: He saved every last crumb of his cake just for me! (Inconsumable, of course, as it was in crumbs all over the kitchen floor.) See how he mocks me....

This pretty much sums it up
