Fall Colors

I've been trying to be conscious about wearing  as many fall colors as possible this year. I always seem to forget to do this! 

I made my scarf out of an old sweater. Just cut the top or bottom of the a

Sweater and it becomes a perfect infinity scarf:)

These new/ old boots are from second avenue. They are super warm and cozy. My knee socks are from Target. 

Happy All Saints Day!!

St Joan of Arc, Mary, & St. Francis of Asissi (check out his tonsure)

As you can imaine, they stood out in our neighborhood trick-or-treating. Particularly Terese, she glowed with innocence and beauty, everyone commented. It's funny having this little Mary walk through seas of ghosts, zombies, and witches. And she kept saying "I is Mary. I holding baby Jesus." Leyna of course couldn't have been better casted as Joan of Arc, ready to fight for Jesus, or just fight, ha. Although I did buy two swords for play so that she wouldn't have the upper hand after Halloween.

Tough but Good

I feel like God is really working in me... it's a difficult time, humbling, but I feel like God is very near. I feel challenged to be more united to him, to be still with him and to deny myself, and be less focused on what I want. One thing I've been doing is successfully fasting from the internet 3 days a week for the last 4 months, which has been a huge sacrifice, but has been bearing fruit in my motherhood for sure.

This last two months or so, I just feel alive for the first time in a while... I've been ready to start new things, go out, create, serve, and such. I've even started to women's group DVD studies with stay at home moms, and I'm heading up a Children's Liturgy of the Word at St Agnes. What, me!? I know, crazy! But the Lord has opened doors and I just feel really led to be obedient.

I have been praying for you both!! Love you girls, can't wait to see you this weekend!!
