    The Bagpipes were a really nice addition this year, but my kids always come home with WAY too much candy! This year it was well over 400 pieces. . . Yep, they counted them. lol (and of course it was a couple days after I restarted my diet – can you believe I didn't even touch one piece, not even the Snickers or Reese's!) Now I just need to buy a piñata and plan a party! 😉

    I just love that picture of the fire dog! 🙂

    As for Captain's birthday. . . I don't know!!!

    Sean and the two oldest boys actually left early yesterday morning and are up in Idaho! They attended Mass at his brother's parish (Captain's Godfather!) this morning, and are at the reception following the parish Confirmations (with our Archbishop!) this afternoon. The camp starts in the morning and they will drive home next Saturday, getting home late at night, just before the Sunday birthday. (The girls camp starts on Sunday and I'm still so tempted to just get in the car and drive up with the rest of the kids. . . ) Anyways, he is turning 14 and never did tell me what type of theme (if any) he wanted. I'm running out of time to decide!

    Oh, I hope he would still want a themed birthday party! One is NEVER too old for birthday parties!!!! 🙂 If he doesn't give you any ideas, I guess you should just think of what he's been most into as of late or over the last few months or so. What is the camp that the boys are attending and then the girls???? I assume it's the same place, just segregated by gender the different weeks. I checked out the link to Captain's first communion! How cute all the kids were but "ugh" on the illnesses! I wish we could get an FSSP priest nearby! We have yet to have access to any Latin Mass within a 2 hours drive in any direction! It's saddening…. We need Sean's brothers this way!!! 🙂

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.
