Oh, hi!

I’ve been trying to figure out what to write for … a while now. It seems like I’m in some weird fog of writer’s block, which happens quite regularly around these parts. I can’t for the life of me figure out why it comes so often. Eh.

We’re all doing quite well around these parts. Easter Sunday was absolutely beautiful, if not tiring. We took everyone to Mass at Dawn. Before I sound any bit heroic in that, let it be stated that we were heading out the door as the sun was rising …. at 6:50am.  Mass was beautiful (and very full). I found myself moved to tears a couple of times during Mass, just the immensity of Christ in the Eucharist and the beauty of Mass. It’s truly beyond words.

After Mass, we had a visit by some friends of Dad’s (they’ve known my folks since before I was even thought of), who oo’d and ahh’d over Ben and Elise. Elise participated in her first Easter Egg hunt as well, thanks to the Knights of Columbus and the Ancient Order of Hibernians. It was a great hunt, with Elise finding plenty of eggs and not getting mowed over in the process. Naps and dinner followed, which was quite grand. Benedict enjoyed his first Easter as well, by sleeping and eating. Awwww. He did ride around in the Ergo at the Easter Egg hunt, which was awesome as it was it extremely windy and chilly. Not for the B, he was happy as a clam.

There has been some upheaval in my spiritual life as of late (maybe that’s why I can’t really find anything to write about, because I’m busy processing that). I have an idea that perhaps God is calling me beyond my comfort zone, and naturally; I’m Kind Of Skittish About That. Leaving one’s comfort zone isn’t ever fun, but it is what it is and I just want to make sure that God is calling me, as opposed to Wishful Thinking on my part. Prayers?

Before I head off to Relax while everyone is asleep, the answer to the all important “how much does your kid weigh?”. Today, Benedict weighs over 10 pounds, so +2 from his lowest weight (and almost +2 from his birth weight). And +1 from the pediatrician last week. I wonder how much he’s going to weigh when we go back to the ped’s in May.
