January 31st, 2005 Today in school we are learning about seahorses. What fascinating creatures! Predictably, what I find most intriguing about these small fish is their means of having babies. Anyone who doubts that God has a sense of humor need look no further than this: The female seahorse lays her eggs in a pouch on the male seahorse’s belly. And now here comes the funny part: He lets her! Funnier still is January 31st, 2005 I thought some of you might be interested in reading this review of my book posted by Holly Pierlot (author of A Mother’s Rule of Life) on her Mother’s Rule of Life website. While you’re there, check out the rest of her site as well- she’s a great resource for Catholic moms! January 30th, 2005 And he opened his mouth and taught them, saying: “Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted. Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth. Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied. Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy. Blessed are the pure in January 29th, 2005 Early this morning I was awakened by the sound of Ambrose’s voice and a gentle shaking of my shoulder. “Mama! Mama! I’m ready!” I opened one eye and looked at him standing by my bed in the still-dark bedroom. He was wearing his green basketball team shirt, athletic pants, and sneakers. He grinned at me. “It’s a little early. Your game isn’t until 9:00,” I told him. “Yup,” he answered January 27th, 2005 It sure can make a difference having an older girl around the house. I love my boys, my babies, and my husband, but they just don’t “get it” the way that almost-10-year-old Kateri does. For example: This morning I checked the outdoor thermometer which was reading below zero for the one thousandth consecutive day, picked up Baby Gabrielle who was whining and pulling at my leg, and glanced at a January 26th, 2005 This will have to short. I am typing with one hand today because Gabrielle wants “up.” My normally independent toddler suddenly needs me–real close, right now, and she’s not taking no for an answer. “Up, Mama! Up, Mama!” With small sticky hands, she’s been clinging to me all morning like a determined orangutan. I don’t know if it’s the start of a cold or if she senses my distraction and January 25th, 2005 It was a mistake and I knew it. The other day when I was on the phone with my sister, I allowed 5 year-old Juliette to play around on my computer. It’s not as crazy as it sounds, though. She was just practicing typing her name and she was being supervised after all by 6 year-old Ambrose. My word processing program may never be the same again. The toolbars now January 24th, 2005 The annual March for Life rally in Washington, D.C. will be finishing up today. I haven’t been able to be there in person since college, but every year I join the marchers in spirit and prayer. We should all mourn the 1973 U.S. court decisions that imposed abortion on demand on the U.S. and we should all lobby Senators and Congressmen to restore legal protection for human life. A recently |
