I just love Isaac's expression, it is as if to say "why can't I eat it all NOW'.<br />Reading the Gospel is such a wonderful tradition, and one I bet the kids will remember. <br />You know, I think your family is the best and I always love coming here and seeing what you guys are up to!!!9peasMomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10275852974567457188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1611085051173017244.post-4034593137925987322013-12-02T21:50:05.991-08:002013-12-02T21:50:05.991-08:00Oh.

Because that's exactly how I would describe dinners here, Thorns and Roses or no. Poor, poor Isaac. Let me have him commiserate with Zeke. It's a rough life for these 2 year old guys. <br /><br />Our senses are good and holy. Powerful stuff. Catholicism moves me so much precisely because this crazy Church of ours just GETS humanity, from our most basic level on up through our desire to be united with divinity. To have a God who loves us enough to establish a Church like this... the Love sets my heart to aching and my eyes to weeping. <br /><br />Thanks for linking, R.
