The Gruffalo, by Julia Donaldson, read by Pop

Pop is way more fun than me when he reads, he is so silly. Here he is reading one of his favorite books. The Gruffalo
Thy Will be Done!!! +JMJ+

Love you forever: Read by me...

Even though some people think this book is kinda creepy, all my kids have their own copy. Especially now that I can't be with some of my children during this pandemic, I totally want to hop in my car and drive across town and rock them back and forth, back and forth, and tell them that I love them forever, I like them for always, as long as I'm living my baby they will be. 
Thy will be done!!!

Just Plain Fancy by Patricia Polacco read by me: Grammy

During this pandemic I have been reading some of my favorite books online to my Grandchildren. I hope you enjoy this. 

Thy Will Be Done!!!

Peace in the pandemic

It’s been a long time posting,
I wanted to share a Holy Spirit thought- I had great holy plans tonight- after dinner we were going to say the stations and watch some of Jesus of Nazareth. By the time dinner was over kids were mysteriously gone--- when I went to look for them...Kolbe was playing legos by himself, Ray and Brad were making a fort outside, Eric in bed reading, Mary writing letters, Cecilia drawing in her journal, and rob writing our book...I thought I would give them a couple more minutes till the fights started but for the first time in years, everyone was at peace!!! Honestly, two hours past without conflict and I finally had to bathe and put the littles to bed! I think the slow pace of this pandemic is bringing back self-awareness and creativity back to our family instead of rushing around and running to activities and doing homework.so sometimes we just need to go with the flow of the Holy Spirit and rest in His gifts! +JMJ+
