finally relaxing after a crazy week! Mark worked a big conference all week with early mornings and late nights. We seemed to only see each other a few minutes before my eyes started drooping and my head bobbing…thank goodness he was as exhausted as me! Weeks like these make me appreciate him so much – with all of these children, we have become a good team and you just don’t realize how much you depend on each other until half of the team is away. Looking forward to getting back into our routine again.
cheering for J as he lost his first tooth! He’s been wiggling it for awhile, but finally pulled it loose in the school drop off line.
listening to all of the exciting things happening at school. D has been working on a big project for Merchant Day, where all of the kids made and sold items to other kids in the second grade. He drew 40 trading cards with super heroes on them and they were really popular! He was pleased with the response. M is shooting a real bow and arrow in PE, which is a huge deal. J has started weekly spelling tests and has been doing great.
celebrating a successful contract on our old house! There was quite a bit of back and forth, which is always stressful, but it looks like we may be in the clear for closing in early March!
signing up M, D, and Sophie for soccer this spring. We’re excited to watch them learn and play. And see Sophie in tiny shin guards, hah!
finishing The Summer Before the War and Elizabeth is Missing. Still slowly working my way through Different.
preparing for a house full of visitors as we celebrate P’s baptism!

RELIGIOUS TRUTH TO PONDER: a piece of my faith to think about or put into practice
“In the formation of conscience the Word of God is the light for our path, we must assimilate it in faith and prayer and put it into practice. We must also examine our conscience before the Lord’s Cross. We are assisted by the gifts of the Holy Spirit, aided by the witness or advice of others and guided by the authoritative teaching of the Church.” (CCC 1785)
