Teenager!

Yes.... it happened. Today, in fact. Our second child, the oldest son, turned 13!

We are so thankful to God for choosing us to be your parents! We love you! Happy Birthday!

A great afternoon pick me up!

Gather the kids around the computer, turn up the speakers and enjoy.

"The everlasting Father has in His wisdom forseen from eternity the cross He now presents to you as a gift from His inmost heart. This cross He now sends to you He has considered with His all-knowing eyes, understood with His divine mind, tested with His wise justice, warmed with His loving arms, and weighed with His own hands to see that it be not one inch too large and not one ounce to heavy for you. He has blessed it with His Holy Name, annointed it with His grace, perfumed it with His consolation, taken one last glance at you and your courage, and then sent it to you from Heaven, a special greeting from God to you, an alms of the all-merciful love of God" St. Francis de Sales
