~One~

Twinkle Toes learned how to bowl this past Sunday! She was so fun to watch.

~Two~

Bowling was fun, but I tell ya, Bowling Buddies on Facebook is so much easier! Even my kids beat my score the first game… I did better the second time, but boy was I sore for a few days!

~Three~

After bowling we headed “over the river and through the woods” to celebrate Christmas once again with my family. Mom baked a ham and we exchanged gifts.

~Four~

My parents gave me each of the children darling Gymboree sweaters. (You can’t beat their awesome sale right now:$15 sweaters! The kids were given this, this, this, this, and this one.) Thank you Grandpa & Grandma!

~Five~

I love watching my daddy read to my kiddos.

~Six~

And watching him dance with Twinkle Toes is even sweeter.

~Seven~

My brother David (pictured on the left) is awesome at The Settlers of Catan. We’ve played it with him twice (so far) and he won both games!! Argh!! I am not at all competitive! 😉


Thanks Jen for making it easy to share our day with “Seven Quick Takes“! Be sure to head over to her blog to see others!

    I’m looking forward to visiting Regina!! As for Dad’s beard, I guess it’s pretty new. He had a goatee (is that what it’s called?) for about 6 months or so, and shaved it way down right before Christmas.

    Christine ~ I understand.. There are lots of people who don’t. For me though, I don’t know what I’d do without online shopping. It’s so hard to shop with my children, and (most of the time) online prices are better!

    I love those fair-isle sweaters (both the half-zip and the hooded!) and love the pictures of the cute dressed little one with bowling shoes! 🙂

    Have a great day!

    Best,
    Sarah

    I love your quick takes! I really love that you did the meme with pictures. I need to remember that. Aren’t dads great? It melts me to watch my own dad with my kids.

    Your kids are still adorable!

Prayer of Mothers

Father in heaven, grant me the grace to appreciate the dignity which you have conferred on me. Let me realize that not even the Angels have been blessed with such a privilege—to share in your creative miracle and bring new Saints to heaven. Make me a good mother to all my children after the example of Mary, the Mother of your Son. Through the intercession of Jesus and Mary I ask your continued blessings on my family. Let us all be dedicated to your service on earth and attain the eternal happiness of your kingdom in heaven. Amen.

A Little About Me

Hi! I'm Jessica, a Roman Catholic wife and home educating mother to our nine children. I was home educated myself, along with my eleven younger siblings. I have a special devotion to St. Therese, through whom I have been given much help and many blessings--the beautiful "Shower of Roses" that she has sent my way! Here I will record a few of the blessings I treasure. Please remember that what you see here is just a little glimpse at our lives, so please say a prayer for us, as we continue to strive for holiness.
