Fog = Frost

I think there’s a saying that goes something like, “three months, three weeks or three days from a heavy fog there will be a storm.”  But there’s something sort of magical about it.

Going to collect noon eggs.
Helping to feed the chickens.
Enjoying our noon outing.
Praying and thinking of those families and friends that are in Washington DC today! We have a niece there. Hats off to the President who is the first to speak at a March for Life and give a voice to the voiceless!
“God, author of all life,
bless, we pray, this unborn child;
give constant protection
and grant a healthy birth
that is the sign of our rebirth one day
into the eternal rejoicing of heaven…”
~ excerpt from the Prayer of Blessing

Well Read Moms & Mary

Blessed to call these ladies friends.

For a short while there was two little extra members tonight 😊
Mary sure was a good little listener, not much input from her at this point however…that will likely change after a decade or so😁

Balmy weather!

After the last week and a half or so, it feels like we are experiencing a heatwave!  It is 33 degrees, not a breeze, and the sun is trying to peek through the clouds!  

The chickens are loving this warm weather.

They love their new mittens!

What a Year!

A year ago, if you told this birthday man he’d have another child, and this one would be wearing pink, I wonder what he would have said!?!

We had a warm day in this bitter cold streak so we moved the cows back…I feel for the livestock and people to the East of us, sounds like they’re going to get a blizzard.
Andrew snapped this picture when he started the herd moving.

Sorry if I Brag a Little…

That young gentleman shaking the Pope’s hand…yeah, he’s my cousin, my Aunt Virginia’s son…Fr. Anthony.  He tries to say a Mass at St. Clements whenever he is here.  I think it’s important to put good, young priests, who are doing their best to Shepherd the Flock well, in our prayers.  I know we all need prayers, but somehow I think they need extra prayers to help them, help us.

Mary’s Baptism!

What a day to remember! Our little girl joined the Body of Christ today, in as the priest said a “historic church” & surrounded by wonderful people!  Let me tell you what, when it comes to work ethic you can’t have a better work crew than Grandpa Bob, Grandma Jen, Great Grandma Arleen, Uncle & Godfather Chris and that Andrew!  Thanks so much for all of your help in preparing the food!  Special shout out to Aunt Anna and her wonderful cake and Nancy for delivering it!  Also, thank you Catherine for being Godmother!  The musicians played beautifully also!  Thank you Mya, Mercedes, Malachi, Micah, and Marty! And thank you for joining them Christi & Lynnette! 

The Musicians!
Grandpa Russell’s head cheese and liver sausage went over very well!
Fun times with Good Neighbors!
Great Grandma Arleen! Mary is so blessed to have her Great Grandma attend her Baptism!
Dedicated Grandparents! They have their hands full!
Godmother Catherine meeting Mary!
She’s Baptized! Thank you Fr. Zwack!
Godfather Chris, Fr. Zwack, Godmother Catherine!
My Godfather, Ted!
Gietzen Grandparents, Mary is the 4th Generation on the Gietzen side to be Baptized in St. Clements. William Nicholas in 1893, William Frederick in 1927, William Russell in 1949 (Baptized in Sacred Heart in Glen Ullin), Monica in 1981, and now her!

The Boys enjoyed sledding today in the 42 degree weather!

Ready for his nap!
We had company for a short bit…they hadn’t seen the house yet, and they met little Mary Isabella!
Making homemade pizza!

Best part of winter evenings…Daddy reading!
Ok, the piano playing is nice too!
Good bye 2019, 🎄O Tannenbaum 🎶. This Christmas will always hold a very special place in my heart, laboring on Christmas Day & being delivered of a healthy girl…there are definitely moments in life that I am proud that will ripple for eternity, and that’s one of them. It’s sad to see the tree be taken down, but we decided we’d need the space for the Baptism party!
