Time Flies

It is so hard to believe that our new little blessing is not so new anymore.  He is 5 months old today.  Time has passed by so quickly.  I have been trying to slow down and savor each moment (even the difficult ones) for on some level I know how quickly they pass by. (Peanut is now 15 and preparing to drive these days, I swear she was just 5 and starting kindergarten yesterday!)  God has blessed us with so many good gifts and I try to slow down and appreciate them  as best I can.

I love the pictures of my babies little feet it reminds me of when they were small and how in love with them my husband and I were. I thank our Lord for these many blessings.

Little Flowers meeting

We had our second Little Flowers meeting last night.  We discussed the virtue of Mercy and studied St. Faustina.  The girls had a wonderful time and really enjoyed making their Divine Mercy prayer beads.  I have to say that being a part of the Little Flowers club is not only a blessing for my daughter but for me as well.  I get to teach my child a bible verse, a virtue and about a saint each month.  This has been so rewarding in terms of a teaching tool that I have decided to teach all of my little ones these things each month (each at their own level of course) and I must say that it is turning out to be really wonderful.  I love teaching my children about our faith.  It certainly strengthens my faith in the process.  Thanks St. Therese!  Pray for me to be a good teacher for my children.
