Back to our little lovelies





We picked up a new activity station for mia and uly immediately took ownership of the box. as you can see by the green bruise on uly's face last week was full of ouches. first uly got smacked in the cheek by the swing he was trying to outrun, not once but twice. and later that day while we were checking for mail he tripped and his chin caught the counter. "you look like a tough guy" is what dad said. and i had to throw up the cute little nudie butt getting ready to crawl.

Let the rain kiss you
Let the rain beat upon your head with silver liquid drops

“In this time of need, I ask you, St. Anthony, to pray with me for the things I desire. I pray that God may again give me a sign of loving care and providence, and that through you, God may draw us all to the fullness of life and love in eternity.”
—Prayer to the “Wonder Worker”
