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.

The Family Huddle

Author: the Manning family (Peyton, Archie, et al)

Great story about the three Manning boys enjoying a family Thanksgiving down south when they were kids... making up their own football games to play in the back seat of the car, designing their own plays (our favorite was The Postman Always Delivers), riding around to visit all their family.
The book really captures a happy childhood moment. I liked how elegant all the grandmas and the mom looked, too- all in skirts and blouses.

Family, Thanksgiving, football, brothers, team spirit

Yes, great book for little Manning fans, of which I have one. I had suggested it to Maryan for her sports unit on her fil because it's about family, football, and they call hteir grandpa PaPa.
