I'm heading to a birth and can use some prayers right about now. It's a first baby for a mom who wants a natural birth but doesn't have much preparation... and I'm fighting being sick. So this might be a long night, but I'm thankful that I get to be there. Thanks for the prayers!

How embarassing...my last entry is one I wrote over a month ago. I thought I had posted it but I guess it didn't work, so as I sat down to write tonight I found it and thought I might as well put it up there. Apparently I am terrible at keeping up with the things I want to share. It's been over a month since I've even thought about posting ( Read more... )

I didn't realize it has been so long since I wrote anything, and as always I wish I'd written more often so I could remember the little things that have been making New Hampshire such an adventure. But I'm here now, so here goes. I just arrived back in Manchester after being away since Thursday. Mary and I flew down to VA to attend different ( Read more... )

So far I've been working hard just like Trena ;) Mary and I arrived (is that the right word?) here in Manchester on Friday night after getting stuck in most traffic between New York and New Hampshire. We got lost a couple of times at the very end and were feeling very punchy and tired, so it was extra nice to finally arrive at the guys' place, ( Read more... )

I should be well on my way to my parents' house right now, with a fully packed car and an organized apartment. Instead, I am sitting at my dining room table, with no further packing done, reading the news and wasting time. I'm reminded of my early college days; ok maybe middle college days, early for Christendom but a few years into higher ( Read more... )

Happy Feast of the Visitation! 'Round these parts we call it "doula day", as some say Mary was the first doula when she went to be with Elizabeth. Things have been pretty uneventful around here after the birth next week, but they're about to pick up soon. My lease in my apartment is up at the end of June, and I've decided to head back to the ( Read more... )

I just returned home after an amazing birth and wanted to share my joy with you all :) I'm too tired to process it much now, but I am so thankful to have been a part of it. I love this stuff! Please join me in prayers of thanksgiving for this new little family. I'm looking forward to seeing some of you in NJ pretty soon. Because this baby has ( Read more... )

I'm back home (I think it's home) in Virginia after an unexpected week in New Jersey. I'm glad to hear some of you figured out three-way calling. I'm jealous now :) I didn't get to read Lizzie's post that some of you have mentioned, but I'm curious about it now. Any ideas on how I can see it? And thanks for your words of encouragment and love ( Read more... )

I was sitting in Mass at St. Peter's, celebrating two years of receiving Our Lord. I was praying in thanksgiving, but also praying and hoping the white smoke wouldn't go up and the bells wouldn't start ringing while I was in Mass. St. Peter's was the first place I ever sat through a Mass. I was there in 11th grade with my high school latin class ( Read more... )

So, um, here's the new 'do.
