Our Mother's Day in Pictures

Got these before Mass...

Went here after Mass...

And ~ Looky who came home from Omaha with the traveling priests for the weekend!

Michelle!Is that a great Mother's Day present, or what? We get her back home for good next weekend, but it was sure a treat to see her! (Note to Aunties: She says she's "growing out" her bangs...)

After doughnuts and Starbucks at Park #1, we loaded up the minivan

and passed here...

And these guys...

To get here...

The world's best playground in beautiful, historic Georgetown, CO.

Check out this playground! This is only a small part of it! It's Gi-normous! It makes me really mad that they didn't have these when I was a kid.

Below:Cathy, our resident monkey, going across the bars for the 49th time.

When everyone was thoroughly exhausted, we headed back down from the mountains, stopping for eggrolls at the supermarket deli for poor man's Chinese. My sons called me from school for a good chat. And I got to play on the computer and didn't have to help clean up the dinner dishes. Definitely all the makings for a wonderful day!

I hope everyone's Sunday was beautiful and blessed!

Heavenly Father, we ask You to guide our children in the choice of spouse. Don't let them be carried away by false charms or be fascinated by mere outward glamour, but guide their minds to look beneath and beyond all external attractiveness for the deeper things which alone are worth while.

Especially let the choice be of one who is a fervent Catholic, true in thought and word and deed to those ideals which are Yours, especially the value of their purity.

Dear Father of us all, give Your guiding help to our children, who are Your children, too. We will be letting them go soon, but please don't ever let our children go from you. Amen

St. Valentine, patron of romantic love, pray for us!

O, St. Joseph...

...whose protection is so great, so strong, so prompt before the Throne of God, I place in thee all my interests and desires. O, St. Joseph, do assist me by thy powerful intercession and obtain for me from thy Divine Son all spiritual blessings; so that having engaged here below thy Heavenly power I may offer my thanksgiving and homage to the most loving of Fathers. O, St. Joseph, I never weary contemplating thee and Jesus asleep in thy arms. I dare not approach while He reposes near thy heart. Press Him in my name, and kiss His fine Head for me, and ask Him to return the kiss when I draw my dying breath. St. Joseph, patron of departing souls, pray for us. Amen.
