It’s Snowing
The boys don’t need to pretend anymore. It really is snowing, and Kieran is very excited. He keeps telling me, “Mommy, it’s snowing!” and “Mommy, snow is on the van. We need to clean it.” He also commented, “Mommy, the snow is on the flowers.” I love my little boy and his wonder and enthusiasm.

We usually set up our outdoor nativity scene on the Saturday prior to Gaudete Sunday; however, we did not have time to do so this past weekend. Thus, yesterday, I mentioned to my husband that the children and I might do so. He said, “Go for it.” Around 3 o’clock, I could not bear the…
