Daddy, Simon, Ambrose, and Ignatius made a snowman.

10 years ago God blessed Andrew and I beyond measure! We prayed for children from day 1 of our marriage, and for a while it seemed like it wasn’t in God’s plans for us and then God gifted us a Treasure!

Always fun when a school Reading Month celebration aligns with one's birthday. 🎉📘🎂

Quote of the Day

“Cheerfulness strengthens the heart and makes us persevere in a good life. Therefore the servant of God ought always to be in good spirits.” –St. Philip Neri

We really enjoy having the calves close.

Stop making this meme seem like reality!

We appreciate the road crew making it possible for us to make it to Mass.  This area has had a week+ of winter storms and blizzards, sort of makes for cabin fever and so it was very kind of our neighbor to invite us for Sunday brunch after Mass.

Moving & Beautiful!🙏

Grandpa and I fed ahead yesterday, thank God he’s healing well from his first knee surgery… Andrew, being an excellent farm manager, helps us devise plans for each storm (he watches different weather forecasts.)  Today we’ve been digging out from yesterday’s blizzard, we’re due for another blizzard this afternoon until late tonight or tomorrow afternoon.  On the bright side, this should fill the empty stockdams.  Gotta be positive!

Quote of the Day”When an evil thought is presented to the mind, we must immediately endeavor to turn our thoughts to God, or to something which is indifferent. But the first rule is, instantly to invoke the names of Jesus and Mary and to continue to invoke them until the temptation ceases. He who trusts in himself is lost. He who trusts in God can do all things.”–St. Alphonsus Liguori

Today’s Meditation:“Temptation to a certain sin, to any sin whatsoever, might last throughout our whole life, yet it can never make us displeasing to God’s Majesty provided we do not take pleasure in it and give consent to it. You must have great courage in the midst of temptation. Never think yourself overcome as long as they are displeasing to you, keeping clearly in mind the difference between feeling temptation and consenting to it.”—St. Francis de Sales, p.158
