1. It’s been one of those days – kind of blah and dreary. No real reason, maybe hormones getting unsettled or whatever. It helps that Elise went trick-or-treating at Grandma and Grandpa’s work, dressed as a (very) cute little lion. Rawr!
2. Because I am a book-a-holic, I finally was able to obtain [...]
Little One loves having a hand up. All. The. Time.

Everything is fine with Little One. We have to go back for another ultrasound in a month as the ultrasound technician found some cysts in the brain. Everything else was [...]

They weren’t boring. They weren’t over my head. They also weren’t dumbed down. They’re not long [...]
Tonight, Greg and I are going to our parish mission which is being said by a very, very special guest. We’re both looking forward to it, but that means that everything I usually get done in the evening needs to be done during the day. I will be posting on the parish mission once [...]
I have been pondering Marigold’s question(s), which I think could be boiled down to one: Why be an Oblate?
