"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.

In Europe

Who is this world traveler, and where is my daughter?!
The Cathedral
(my husband was worried about sunburn.  my brother found not only sunscreen, but a hat!)

en route to Warsaw

 In Warsaw--if you can't guess who that Saint is, I'm not telling you!  (hint: he's a "Great", if unofficially still).


 Shrine of Divine Mercy

After lunch on a Riverside terrace.  You can see how beautiful the weather was for them!


 Auchwitz.  Sadly, not all good experiences are "fun".





WWII museum (yes, my boys were jealous)


There are so so many photos for me to post.  There were music concerts, ethnic restaurants, and of course, the ordination!

I hope to share more.  I really need to get back to cleaning: I want a nice homecoming for this little girl of mine!
