Evie...This 2 year old is a constant companion to her grandma, and a day brightener most of the times. I find myself laughing out loud at some of the things that come out of her mouth! At breakfast this morning out of the blue - "My buggers hurt."
As Maria reminded us this morning at breakfast... "It is unusual to hear what is in the head of a 2 year old." She is a sweet ray of sunshine with occasional claps of thunder. After raising 4 girls and then John... the rough and tumble boys are a new adjustment for me, and these boys are great in how wonderfully disciplined they are. All in all I have enjoyed my close personal family time with this bunch of now echo...8!
Helping grandma blog and admiring this adorable picture of herself in her pink top with her scapular showing... each of the kids have them to remind them of Jesus. Evie looked at hers today and said; "Jesus." in her sweet 2 year old voice.
LOVE this, and yes she was between my legs. Close and sweet.
Grandma reading and saying my rosary in the library with my sweet side kick looking at her book... sometimes I read to her, but the grandma that is known for reading many books to them is on her way on the airplane from Wisconsin.
The excitement is building and the house is being changed to accommodate the coming family and guests to meet our new Hector and celebrate with him when he comes into The Church on Sunday, which is also St Patrick's day which is also a feast day of a certain little Patrick Joseph! Maria is famous for changing the house from one day to the next from beds to uses for rooms.
Awake and pondering the world!
It is a day filled with prayer for many directions today... just got a call that mom and dad were both taken to the ER this morning with some different issues going on. John is at Mayo getting his eyes checked after them worsening... trying to get to the bottom of this. Always called to our knees!
Tummy time this morning for this perfect little boy!
Out of the depths I cry to you, O LORD;
LORD, hear my voice!
Let your ears be attentive
to my voice in supplication. Psalm 130 from mass today is the perfect description of prayer as we give it into His hands!
A picture of life while we share the family rosary a few days back... this is a daily occurrence in this home, and the knowledge of each decade is amazing from the oldest 3!
I need to keep this short today as my beads are calling out to me to be in a state of constant prayer for many needs today.
Jesus, we are called to be weak and lowly and humble and turn to you at all times. We are on our knees calling out to you and you hear, answer and bring us peace. Our Lady, your Mother, is always there to hold us close and fill us with your love and mercy. May we forgive and give without counting the cost. Jesus, we trust in you. Amen
"There is my sister, who loves me a lot!"
He had just been sucking his thumb ... now vitamin D.."OK, mom!"
We will soon introduce him to his other grandma. This is getting more and more special with house prep and planes landing and meals and love and happiness and loud wresting and helpers... Bless-bless, Barb and family praying without ceasing!
The Adoration chapel in Mayo/St John's today - so many powerful prayers and memories here! Jesus, we trust in you.
3 years ago... the first flower of spring! How can we have hope that this will be soon?

How did it come to this,. Lord?
“Eucharistic adoration is the greatest of actions. To adore is to share the life of Mary on earth when she adored the Word Incarnate in her virginal womb, when she adored Him in the Crib, on Calvary, in the divine Eucharist.” – St. Peter Julian Eymard #Catholic #Jesus
John's healing and finding Faith!!!!
