I'm Back...maybe

Let's see if I have time for this! I used to love blogging but my time is so limited! Now I have a new laptop so there might be some more time to write without trouble brewing in the house. :) Brent turns 18 tomorrow! David is 7; Caroline is 5; and Kate is 4. We also have a new puppy (11 weeks) and he is the baby! It really feels like I have an infant all over again. Lots of care and time and picking things up off the ground so he won't eat them. Feels very familiar. His name is Sam. The kids LOVE him,and he loves them. I will say though that he goes to bed usually when they do and sleeps all night. Poor little guy doesn't get to take a nap much anymore. He is constantly being carried or moved or rearranged or just stared at and talked to.
Today my good friend Stevie shared a blog idea that you choose a saint to learn more about for the year. It chooses a saint for you while you pray for one that brings you closer and more devoted to God. Mine is St. Gerard of Majella- the patron saint of motherhood! It is the saint for those trying to conceive, those that are mothers, and pro-life and unborn children. I am excited to learn more and see where God is teaching me this year.
