Evangelizing on the Tennis Court
This afternoon, during my daughters’ tennis lessons, one of the children asked my eldest, “How many brothers and sisters do you have?” My daughter responded, “There are three girls and three boys in my family.” The child said, “I’m glad that I’m not you.” My daughter stated, “If your mom had more children, you wouldn’t…
Read MoreI am Six Months Old
My big accomplishments this month are sitting up by myself and scooching on my belly. Mommy thinks that I look like an inchworm when I move across the floor. Catherine commando crawled, before she crawled on hands and knees, but I have found that pulling with my arms, while pushing with one of my legs…

Read MoreWhat has Mommy Done?
Yesterday, my husband called from work and he was truly worried. One of our July birthday girls answered the phone. He asked if he could speak to Mommy. Theresa responded, “She’s not here.

Read MoreMmm, that’s good!
On June 18, I ate solid food for the first time. I liked the rice cereal so much that I cried for more when it was finished. Since then, I have continued to enjoy eating baby food. Now, if only Mommy would allow me to drink from Patrick’s cup…
