Transitus Tiber

Life as a Catholic wife and mother

Date nights

Something that Greg and I have been working on getting back into are date nights. We try and do a ‘date night’ about once a month, although sometimes we take them every couple of weeks. Before Benedict was born, we would have his parents watch Elise and then go out to a little Mexican restaurant [...]

Scenes from Elise’s birthday

The official party is this Friday, but here are some pictures from our mini celebration on Sunday. A book from Grandma and Grandpa and some presents in the background. She never did like wearing the crown, despite enjoying it last year. Maybe next year! We found a copy of A Is for Altar, B Is [...]

Happy Birthday, Elise!

Two years ago today our little world was rocked (in a good way!) when you arrived. The last two years have been nothing but amazing and so humbling. We are so honored to be your Mama and Dada. We love you, Elise!!

He’s sprung a leak!

Yesterday was a follow-up appointment with The Neurosurgeon to remove the stitches from Greg’s head and chest. We noticed that the incision where the pressure monitor was had some gunk on it, but we figured it was from the ointment they had him apply to it. Well, it turns out that that was not only [...]

Hearts for Home – August 17 Edition

1. Work on finding and stopping time leaks. I’m getting into that whole “I don’t have enough time to do everything” so I need to evaluate what is mission critical and what can be done later (or by someone else). 2. I’ve mentioned this before, but work out (aka: post) more on the virtues of [...]

*chomp chomp*

Tonight during dinner, Benedict flashed us a big gummy smile. We all melted from the cuteness, then did a double take. His Chubbiness (unbeknown to us) has his bottom teeth erupted! YAY! He never had a fever, got fussy, or ANYTHING. Although I guess this explains why his latch is a little goofy (and why [...]

Answered Prayers

In addition to everything else going on this week, I have been wondering about clothes for Benedict. We’re borrowing clothes from my cousin, but Benedict is in size 9 month already, and the clothes I have from her peter out around this time. Her son was also born in the Spring, so I have a [...]

August’s plans and festivities

Here are our plans for August. These are based on whether or not Greg’s surgery is successful and how long he spends recovering in the hospital. 6 – The Transfiguration of Our Lord. Since this is the day that Greg goes under the knife, if I can pray the Luminous Mysteries; I’m calling it a [...]

Wordless Wednesday

Simply entitled, “And then everything fell silent…”

Hearts for Home – July 20 Edition

1. Start working on the August feast day plans. July has been successful in that I can see what needs to be adjusted for next year and Greg really enjoys the special treats on the feast days. I’m sure Elise does, too. 2. Start writing out what I think Greg’s Mom should know for taking [...]
