Referring to both my sweet baby boy and my sweet husband.

After a somewhat sleepless night, Michael woke me up to feed Gabriel this morning and then “took him off my hands” after so I could sleep in a little. While I was sleeping, Michael and Gabriel were cooking me breakfast, and when woke up, they brought me a steaming hot plate of Michael’s special scrambled eggs and some breakfast sausage. Yum!

Maybe this whole being-outnumbered-by-boys thing won’t be so bad. 🙂

In other news, Michael and I recently “discovered” an acapella group called Straight No Chaser (no, I don’t know the story behind their admittedly strange band name). The group is ten men who happen to have one fabulous Christmas music CD in which they rework all of the old favorites with gorgeous harmony, humor and some other fun twists. Check them out on YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=28GUU1YbP_E

Also in other news, the Berryhills are coming to visit tomorrow! Gabriel will finally get to meet Faux-Pa (my dad), Uncle Ryan, Aunt Shannon and Aunt Rivers. He already met his grand mere of course. 🙂

So now it’s time to finish Christmas shopping and gift wrapping all of their gifts. Today. I wonder if I will ever stop being a Christmas Procrastinator…

Hi there!

I'm a south Louisiana girl, Catholic wife, writer, speaker, and mother of six. Since I started my blog way back in 2009, life has been a roller coaster of babies, plot twists and a plane crash or two. I've been chronicling things here as I've been learning to love and suffer and laugh and trust in the goodness of God in the ordinary and the extraordinary--with a little espresso and a lot of Divine Mercy.
