~ Capturing the context of contentment in everyday life. ~

{pretty}

Can Legos be considered pretty? 
 It didn’t take long for Captain and his friends to assemble his new lego set on Saturday morning, following the birthday party.  The boys thought it looked pretty cool all put together!

The birthday boy with his baby brother, who was very happy at the moment despite that brand new tooth.

{funny}

I was trying to take Captain’s picture as he opened and discovered his newest Catan game… I didn’t even notice the look on Snuggles face!   That boy is always making me laugh!! 
{real}

And speaking of Snuggles… He wasn’t exactly happy about that one little piece of broccoli that his Dad put on his plate.
I’ll be back soon to share a few pictures from yesterday and today’s feast days!

    Snuggles is quite expressive! I love the expressions in this post and the one with the apple car in the next post. Too cute. I've seen that picky expression here quite a few times too. 2 of ours are picky eaters.

    Hello, as you know I admire you and your family, you are so happy and all this love that I see through the pictures! I leave the clinic where I actually remove the gallbladder I thought of you with your concerns may be what it is …. it's pretty painful, I have 11 staples in his stomach … I hope to go better soon, I embrace you with all my friendship, your friend from France, Marylin

    Thank you! And, ouch, 11 stitches! That does sound painful.. They actually did look at my gallbladder when they did the ultrasound, and it thankfully looked fine.

    Oh boy…Snuggles plate looks familiar, just like my 7yo's…white food that he will actually eat supplemented with tiny bits of other food I have to make him try, lol.

Prayer of Mothers

Father in heaven, grant me the grace to appreciate the dignity which you have conferred on me. Let me realize that not even the Angels have been blessed with such a privilege—to share in your creative miracle and bring new Saints to heaven. Make me a good mother to all my children after the example of Mary, the Mother of your Son. Through the intercession of Jesus and Mary I ask your continued blessings on my family. Let us all be dedicated to your service on earth and attain the eternal happiness of your kingdom in heaven. Amen.

A Little About Me

Hi! I'm Jessica, a Roman Catholic wife and home educating mother to our nine children. I was home educated myself, along with my eleven younger siblings. I have a special devotion to St. Therese, through whom I have been given much help and many blessings--the beautiful "Shower of Roses" that she has sent my way! Here I will record a few of the blessings I treasure. Please remember that what you see here is just a little glimpse at our lives, so please say a prayer for us, as we continue to strive for holiness.
