Very exciting. ...Yay, congrats on First Confession! Very exciting. And I love that photo collage for First Communion.<br /><br />Awesome job on the 3 lbs and Weight Watchers. The # on my scale is going up, up, up and I'm kind of mad about it. I've enjoyed walk away the pounds too. That and pilates help so much. And then I stop. Why???<br /><br />Oh, those markers! I keep threatening to pitch them. All I can say is I hope one of the kids is an artist of some kind and then I can tell the "drawing on oneself constantly" story over and over.<br /><br />Beautiful header, by the way. I'm sure it's been up there. I haven't been on a real computer for a long while now!<br /><br />God bless.Nicolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14120865033676075065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7056332983367489033.post-81082499259703097622013-12-11T11:20:02.228-06:002013-12-11T11:20:02.228-06:00I loved the one you took on the stairs for Thanksg...I loved the one you took on the stairs for Thanksgiving.

I have to admit to kinda mocking it. It seemed like the typical liberalized hollywood film, but if you and Barbara say the book is good then my interest is piqued. <br /><br />Congratulations on your newest confession goer! Yay! Two of mine are in sacrament prep for that now…giving a bad name to homeschoolers, I'm sure. *sigh* They're beginning readers, but act like they cannot read anything the teacher gives them. *sigh*<br /><br />I'm so glad to hear that you're doing ww again! I've been wanting to ask you if you wanted to be ww buddies with me again! Would you? I'll message you on fb. <br /><br />Beautiful kiddos! Beautiful Sim!

And your daughter can't wait to go again? How great is that?<br /><br />You do have a little stinker on your hands, don't you? And maybe a budding artist too. So pleased with himself, isn't he? It's hard to be mad at that little face.<br /><br />I was looking at my Magnificat, and it read that Monday was the feast of the IC, and that sounded weird. I thought the 9th was St. Juan Diego...then I realized Sunday bumped Mary to Monday. I'm sure she didn't mind, but I didn't catch on at first!<br /><br />Have a good, marker-less Tuesday :)<br />CeilCeilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06293917798735764739noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7056332983367489033.post-76589953739407051282013-12-10T08:38:13.551-06:002013-12-10T08:38:13.551-06:00Thank YOU for telling me there is a movie coming. ...Thank YOU for telling me there is a movie coming.

Miss Clementine is into having everyone trace her hands and feet. Roller skating. Oh my goodness! I use to do that all the time as a kid. What great memories. I bet you all had a great time :) Congratulations on your sweet little one's first confession. Absolutely precious. You know, the older I get, the more these sacraments pull at my heart strings. My eyes will well up with tears watching total strangers, little ones, receiving their first Holy communion or nervously in line waiting for their first confession :) And baptisms! Don't even get me started on that heavenly smell of the blessed chrism oil… Have a wonderful week up there in MN!
