So, it appears I may be learning a huge lesson in detachment as we can’t find Sunshine’s birth pictures on any computer or backup.  I actually still print pictures, but it seems despite having the sweetest pictures from her birth, I never printed any from that day.  I think some major prayers for St. Anthony’s intercession as well as a lot of patience as I go through every single file we have of pictures are going to be necessary.

Speaking of prayers, yesterday was the Feast of the Guardian Angels.  We have several sweet books about the Guardian Angels, our favorite Pascual and the Kitchen Angels.  The prayer…Sunshine can recite it!!  It was so sweet, I started praying it and then she just kept going.  I had no idea.  After reading St. Jerome’s wonderful quote and some other quotes from the Bible, I have found myself relying a bit more on my own angel as well as those of my children.  I didn’t grow up talking about my guardian angel, but it’s pretty amazing to think I’ve had an angel out there watching over me from the beginning.

My great aunt, the 100 year old aunt, is in the hospital.  And so I’m talking to her guardian angel too.  A lot.  I can’t imagine being in the hospital at that age.  Praying really hard that she gets better soon and is back to her home.

So I am getting an alphabet of saints for Sunshine’s birthday/Christmas.  Well, my mom is getting some, my BFF is getting one, and then my dad said he’d buy the rest.  He loves that she loves them and is learning about the Saints.  Hmmm, at 28 per doll, my basket is pretty pricey.  And that doesn’t include saints for U, W or X yet.

Super frustrating to me is not being able to get a copy of this book.  It is such a sweet story, and the kids love it.  Generally it’s checked out at the library, but last year I finally secured a copy.  I decided we needed it for our personal library and ordered it in early September.  Now amazon can’t get a copy for me.

Snax went five weeks and two days without getting a note in his daily folder.  Five weeks!!!

I woke up super early today, as did Baby Hulk.  He’s just sitting on the couch reading next to me.  I love this kid.

And really, this girl, has no shame.  She wants his ice cream so badly!
