Just a little cuteness to brighten your day.
Should have started the recording BEFORE I put the cup down on her tray. She picked it up herself.

Do You Delano?
Hey y'all.
This is kind of selfish but kind of not. I buy Delano bread every week at Dillons, because I don't have time to do everything and making bread (even though it's fairly easy and I really like my recipe) is something I have given up for now to make life easier. Oh but back to Delano bread. It appeals to my "locavore" side and tastes good and they have whole wheat and double oat bran and my kids like it etc. etc. etc.
Ok so the selfish/not selfish part is this: I am sharing a referral link here that will earn me Groupon credit but link YOU to a great deal. It is for $15 worth of food/coffee/delano product at Dolci & Joe's in college hill. It costs YOU $6. I bought three myself, because even if I don't go there for a date (which would be wonderful), I can buy Delano bread there for just over a buck a loaf. It sells for 3.19 at Dillons. Oh. Yeah.
Here you go if you want in: http://www.groupon.com/r/uu2636311
It's only good today.

Mommas Don't Let Your Babies Grow Up to Be Cowboys...
Although I don't think this hat is authentic "cowboy". It would be leather, right?
But he sure do look cute, don't he? My little Marnold. Oh Joshua, stealing hearts everywhere with those big soft brown eyes.

Slavery
"Although I am free in regard to all, I have made myself a slave to all so as to win over as many as possible." (1 Cor 9:19)
St. Peter Claver (1580-1654), whose feast day it is today, vowed to be "the slave of the African for ever." He was a Jesuit and a missionary among the African slaves in Colombia. He is the special heavenly patron of all missions to the African peoples.
My sister-in-law compares motherhood to little ones to the life of monks who must drop their work immediately when the bells call them to prayer. As mothers we never know when that "bell" is going to ring, but we cannot be so attached to our other tasks that we resent our children for interrupting them constantly. Constantly.
Which is why I relate to the above quote from St. Paul found in my Morning Prayer this morning. And admire St. Peter Claver who vowed to be a slave for ever, while I think daily how I can't wait until I don't feel so much like a slave to the constant needs of my little ones.
Oh I have so far to go. St. Paul and St. Peter Claver, pray for us!

Signing...How We Roll Around Here
Sometimes I stop to think about it, and when I do I think it's really cool that my children sign. Most of the time I don't stop to think about it, because it is our life. We couldn't do without it.
I haven't counted how many signs the kids know. A lot. Here are two of my favorite signs, demonstrated by each little cutie pie in turn. Sorry the sound is static-y. I think the camera cord was brushing against the mic.
Grace, take it away...
Joshua, you're up!
Hope they make you smile. We need those moments desperately around here.
