… from our family to yours! 
Boy or girl? I’ve had a little secret for the past few days and the answer is in the box! 💙💗 #whatisyourguess
I’ll share the rest of the pictures of the box getting opened as soon as we have a chance to tell my husband’s parents the news. I hope you all have a very blessed and joyous Christmas!

    Oh, I can't wait for the box opening! You all look so great. And, my vote is "girl!" Basically because I had a June girl 5.5 years ago (my bday is in June as well) and, it will even things up!

    Congrats! I was guessing a girl, because everyone I know so far who is due in 2017 is having a girl. Yay for another wee lady!

    I had viewed your lovely family Christmas photo during the week after Christmas but I did not have time to leave a comment. I just wanted to mention how beautiful your family is. Your color choices of red, black, and white are so stunning on everyone! Your daughters are darling in their hats… May God Bless your wonderful Catholic family with a Happy and Healthy New Year 2017!

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.
