There will be a day when I can do this for real...but for now it's time for bed!!

Logan's First Sleep Over!!!

2009-05-31T23:07:00.007-04:00

It was a blast.

Can't believe he's old enough for this! I laid on the couch waiting for them to fall asleep. Just when you think it's quiet, someone starts to giggle.

Who doesn't LOVE playing the Wii?! It's a "special treat" for my kiddos. :)

Make silly faces!!!

Veggie Tale Movie and pizza, can it get any better than this?!

Bradley, Dominic, and Logan, looking a little sleepy...

A Reason for Everything!

Isn't it interesting how things you read hit you at the right time?! I just finished reading a blog on www.ineedstobeu.blogspot.com, and realized that my breaks are on too!

Recently I've been struggling with the whole "what am I suppose to be doing" I know, I know, pretty much everyone goes through that stage. I've been reading, and reading, talking and talking, but what I haven't been doing is listening. Listening to that inner call deep in me, the call of God.

Last night I attended a meeting of Christ Renews His Parish, and we discerned our roles for the next weekend. I went into the night thinking I knew what I was suppose to do. I read the material before hand and when it was all said and done, I came out of the meeting with a position that I didn't even consider.

So how ironic reading about our breaks being on, and my witness on Renewal fit for me at this time in my life. I think it all pans out to God telling me Michelle, step back and relax, release your breaks and TRUST in Me.

Ascension of the Lord

Going to Mass with our 3,2 and 1 year olds can be rather challenging! Usually we can get the older 2 through, but Isaac is in his "screaming" stage. He screams when he's hungry, thirsty, tired, can't get a toy to go the way he wants, you name it, he'll scream about it. Today was a good day, Isaac made it through the Gospel. That means I was able to really listen to the homily. Father started out by asking "what is the hardest part of parenting" he went through general answers per each stage of childhood. As he continued saying the hardest part most parents of older children would say "letting go" is the toughest. Jesus was with his apostles and there came a time He had to let go. Letting go is a concept difficult for me to imagine with my kiddos being at a young age, but letting go doesn't mean they're out of my life. Jesus isn't out of our lives. He's right here waiting for us to call on Him. He may not be near to touch, but He's always near to help, listen, care, and love!

Backyard Camp

Our "camping" at home! Roasted hot dogs, had s'mores, and Penelope fell asleep under the stars.

Z is for Zoo

2009-05-22T14:25:00.000-04:00

Going to the zoo with littles ones is a blast! Who ever knew it would be so exciting to see plastic animals?! Don't get me wrong, the real animals were great too, but the plastic ones we can ride!
