Creatures from the Yard

Daddy found a big tree frog.  Tobias was excited....Theodore...not so much.

 Next on the lineup is a snake.  Daddy seems to enjoy finding and handling snakes.  Tobias seems to be pretty relaxed about it as well.  We surprised Bear (my sister's nickname from the children) and Magdalene with the snake.

Even Helena touched the snake.  No one seemed to notice the photographer (that was me) never touched it.  That's okay!

Our Home Has Been Blessed!

We were excited to hear Saturday evening that the rector of the seminary would be able to bless our home on the feast of my saint, St. Christina!  What a wonderful gift to have our home blessed.

Daddy did a little dance in the morning before Mass for the big day.

Theodore even had his first cookie to celebrate.....which was followed by two or maybe three cookies.
