Oh, Dearest Mother, Sweetest Virgin of Altagracia, our Patroness. You are our Advocate and to you we recommend our needs. You are our Teacher and like disciples we come to learn from the example of your holy life. You are our Mother, and like children, we come to offer you all of the love of our hearts. Receive, dearest Mother, our offerings and listen attentively to our supplications. Amen.

I just talked with my two oldest boys who are in Boston with their dad and the main point of the trip is to go to Fenway Park and Yankee Stadium. The first thing that my 9yo said (after hi and love you and miss you) was, "Hey Mom, Aiden and I just went on the best nature walk!" He was so excited and told me all about the details of mushrooms and birds and trees. All of this was on the boys self-initiative while staying at an Air Force Base Lodge . So instead of sleeping in or watching movies, they got up early and eagerly went outside to walk and take notes and pictures. Ian has his dad looking online to figure out which mushrooms are OK to touch (he even remembered NOT to touch unknown mushrooms - needless to say we don't see many wild mushrooms here in AZ.) They can't wait to go out again tomorrow. So, nature study ranks right up there with baseball . Happy mama moment!

Love,
