Tidepooling

by | Jun 27, 2013 | Field Trips, Nature, Pacific Ocean, Tidepools | 7 comments

Monday morning we woke up to the sound of waves crashing on the beach and the lowest tide of the year! 
It was a negative tide (-2.21 at 7:10 AM) and absolutely incredible!

(Additional pictures from our trip can be found here and here.)

    Fascinating! I've never seen so many starfish, or such bright-green sea-anemones.
    I hope you are getting well and that your little guy is healing up well after his stitches.
    Good health to you all.

    WOW Jessica, what fantastic photos, I've never seen anything like those starfish, anemones and the other sea creatures in real life…the colours and shapes are beautiful.
    Thank you once again for a peek into your life, you & your family are such an inspiration.
    God Bless,

    Jessica, that was an amazing experience, just from my computer screen. How awesome to be there in person! We studied ocean creatures last year, took a beach vacation (the kids were so excited) and… saw a dead crab, a dead jellyfish, and a bunch of teeny bivalves that burrowed in the sand over and over at low tide. Still fun. 🙂

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.
