We have no snow anywhere today so I shouldn't be complaining, the sun is out despite the lingering chill.
Today is a very special day because of the Solemnity of the Incarnation (Annunciation) which also happens to be the anniversary of the middle child's Consecration to Mary. Like last year we went to Mass and had breakfast at Panera's. According to Fr. Dury calories do not count today ;-)
I love solemnities, I love how we get to celebrate it at home. I love the smiles of the people especially the older folks at Church when they see the kids on these solemnities (during school hours LOL). I love that we have every opportunity to be reminded of what is truly important - heaven. It is this hope of eternal happiness that gets me through the travails of life, big and small. Like a van that you just spent a lot of money on for repairs and maintenance only to die a couple of weeks later. Which meant you had to spend a(nother) boatload of money to bring it back to life. Which means you will eat rice and beans for a whole year. And I thought I was cruising through Lent!
On a happier note...I had cinnamon sugar crusted bagel at Panera's and the calories don't count LOL
Speaking of March Madness, the kids are lamenting their NCAA tournament brackets. I have no competence when it comes to sports so I will leave it up to you experts to understand what that means. All I know is that there are broken hearts over here with Ohio State and Duke losing.
It is already looking to be a busy Spring, baseball practices have begun, we are in the thick of ice skating classes and the oldest is being interviewed for Confirmation (by our beloved Fr. Blau) this Saturday. He said he's not nervous, he's always been my confident child so we'll see. Do keep him in your prayers.
I hope you are having a good feast day. I have one last photo to share:
