Grace, your family is beautiful! Your mom looks iike your older sister, and your dad has such a great smile…must be a really fun person. YOu are so blessed to have a houseful of brothers and sisters. I’ve never had a big family…growing up or with my husband, and I always admire the large families I see filing into the pews at church. Thanks for sharing all those beautiful faces, and telling us a bit about each one.
We returned from our pilgrimage yesterday, so I am still really tired, and also caught bronchitis or something similar while over there. I’m still coughing, but getting better. I will e-mail you so that you can send your mailing address. I will pray about what to send you from the little treasures I bought. All have been blessed by our Holy Father. God bless you, Grace. I look forward to catching up on your blog. Please say a prayer that I feel better soon. xoxo

I hope your pilgrimage was enjoyable and refreshing despite all that. Wow! Blessed by Pope Francis! That is amazing! YOU are amazing! You are in my prayers! God bless! XOXO
