Morning exercises

My son, not me. I'm not that coordinated yet. :o)

So my pictures got all mixed up (gotta love technology) but I think I can pull this together. Its been nice with Dave's workschedule to have some slow mornings now and then. Give Daddy some big smiles before he goes to work! He does, really. I can't make CJ smile like Dave does.

Let's see if I got this right.

All Saints Day

In honor of All Saints Day, I easily made the transition from CJ the farmer to CJ as Blessed Jose Luis. I just love the story of this boy martyr.
Well, I tried to paste a link to this post so that y'all could read the story, but it's beyond me. I did find some sites with biographies. Anyway, he steadfastly proclaimed Christ, even unto his death. CJ's feet are colored red because those persecuting Jose Luis cut off the soles of his feet and made him walk to the cemetery. Ouch!


Blessed Jose Sanchez del Rio, pray for us!


I'm very much looking forward to helping our children view the saints as realistic and as their friends, not just people of old legends.
I went to a training class put on by the diocese the other day, and when I left I couldn't help but be nostalgic for my friends so excited about the faith-I would hate to become lukewarm and complacent not assmilating it when I'm older!
