"When we had our children, our ideas changed somewhat. Thenceforward we lived only for them; they made all our happiness and we would never have found it save in them. In fact, nothing any longer cost us anything; the world was no longer a burden to us. As for me, my children were my great compensation, so that I wished to have many in order to bring them up for Heaven" -- Saint Zelie Martin, mother of St. Therese of Lisieux, canonized October 18, 2015 along with her husband St. Louis Martin.

Reality Check

Arwen: "Your blog posts are getting kind of boring."

Me: ok?

Arwen: "They were more fun to read in, like, 2013."

Apparently, I've been sharing too much "about my own life, and how thankful I am," and "all of my boring Mom thoughts" and not enough about the funny things my kids do.

Got it.

No more on house cleaning.

Here's a start (I've been meaning to post this):

Cute Eowyn:

(singing) "Froooosty the Snowmaaan has a very shiny nose!"  (not Rudolph).

In other news,

Aragorn got hit on the other side of his face (you saw his black eye, right?).  Legolas threw a toy at him, it cut and swelled out.  So, two black and blue sides of his poor handsome mug!:)  He looked pretty tough playing his basketball game this morning.


And as soon as I get pictures, this is the spot for Arwen's showcase of her oils for the art studio.  Check back soon!

(I hope this is an ok start).
