"Do not yield to discouragement in the face of difficulties and do not abandon yourselves to false solutions which often seem the easiest way to overcome problems. Do not be afraid to make a commitment, to face hard work and sacrifice, to choose the paths that demand fidelity and constancy, humility and dedication. Be confident in your youth and its profound desires for happiness, truth, beauty and genuine love! Live fully this time in your life so rich and so full of enthusiasm."
"Let us look with greater hope to the future; let us encourage one another on our journey."
~ Papa Benedict XVI

We love you both!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Guess maybe i should start posting again?

Are you tired of me mentioning FLL and Legos in general?  I'll try to come up with something more interesting next time, but....

The kids are an alternate for Regionals, so say a prayer and cross some fingers!  I hate to see some team miss going, but we would not mind taking their place if they can't make it!

Did you eat a lot of turkey yesterday?  Stuffing?  Pie?
We'll see you soon!
Have a great night!

Feast of Our Lady of the Rosary


‎"The Rosary is the most excellent form of prayer 
and the most efficacious means of attaining eternal life.
It is the remedy for all our evils, the root of all our blessings. 

There is no more excellent way of praying."

-Pope Leo XIII
