"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.

Christmas Photo Dump

I should make two New Year's resolutions: 1) to get a new phone because my phone is on the fritz and the camera is really sketchy, so sorry for the blurry pictures! and 2) consider getting a real camera out again, so my blog is prettier!lol


My sister came for a Christmas visit with her beautiful family.  On the day they arrived, her little Elizabeth came down with a fever.  Luckily, she rallied enough the next day to come play at our house and make a little Gingerbread house!

Sprinkles!!


Eowyn (my 6-year-old) happened to snap this picture of our tree.  It's not clear, but it makes a nice impression and captures my new favorite Christmas throw pillow. :)




 This year, we had a real live Chrsitmas infant to ponder and love.




This little angel became a newly baptized saint on the Feast of the Holy Innocents!  Blessings upon blessings.



I'll try to come back with pictures from the Baptism.  I didn't remember to bring my phone to Christmas Day (this was Christmas Eve).  My youngest sister and her family came down with a terrible flu that turned into bronchitis (or possibly pneumonia??) for my sister! Ugh!  We've missed her like CRAZY for the days after Christmas.  Never as fun without her and her children.  Many prayers for full and complete recovery ASAP!

So, for 2019, Merry Christmas!
