{pretty, happy, funny, real} Camping

~ Capturing the context of contentment in everyday life. ~
{pretty}

We hiked the Gorge trail last Saturday and it was incredibly pretty… and pretty terrifying! I was thankful for the safety fences along the trail, especially hiking with all the children, and that we had chosen a campsite (at our campground upstream from the Gorge) that wasn’t along the River.

Happy Campers

{funny}
While we were roasting marshmallows, Captain pulled back his stick too quickly to check his marshmallow and all the outer layers flew off the stick and landed right behind him! 
His Dad told him that a two prong roasting stick (like I was using) was probably a better idea.  

He grabbed another stick and made his own.
{real}

Of all of our children, Rose definitely likes camping the least.  
She did like sitting in her Grandma’s reclining chair and watching the river at their campsite!
When I asked our little princess if she liked camping she hesitantly said, “yyyyes…” 
… and when I asked if she would you like to go camping again she said, “ummm, maybe NOT!”

    Camping isn't my thing either, but maybe Rose would like camping better if she wasn't feeling so poorly!! Hope everyone is feeling better!

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.
