Pretty dollies riding around on the stroller with Bud. He is always more than happy to play with Rose, when she is willing to give him a ride on her doll stroller!

My
last post included a video of a few of Bud’s first steps…
Here are another couple videos taken the next day, on Ash Wednesday! 🙂

Last Sunday I made French Toast for breakfast, topped with maple syrup and the rest of the Apple Pie Filling leftover from the Hobbit Apple Tarts. Bud took his time eating his breakfast, and just as soon as I left the table for a minute to start cleaning up, he decided to rub his plate on the top of his head. I turned around to see him looking like this as he set the plate back down on the table!

Thankfully we were able to get all the stickiness out of his hair in the bathtub and get ready for
our first quarterly Latin Mass that evening! My “baby” is growing up way too quickly…
I hope the first week of Lent is off to a great start for you all! It has been so busy in our home this week, with Mass on Ash Wednesday, a get together in town with friends on St. Valentine’s Day, and the tutor here on Friday, in addition to other errands… I’ve also managed to continue with my exercising/time on the treadmill each day and, after losing 2 more pounds (for a total of 15 this year) I have finally hit my pre-pregnancy weight from Bud! It is definitely a start! Now to focus on the weight leftover from my pregnancy with Rose… 😉
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.
What a sweet little guy! LOVE the clapping! Great job on the treadmill girl!
Congratulations, Jessica! Meeting a weight goal like that is huge! Keep it up!
