In August we prayed a novena to Our Lady of La Leche for the nursing moms.

I think it worked! Maria at 2 months

She's adorable! Isn't it awe inspiring that just like during pg we can be complete nourishment for a baby if we nurse? And they can grow and thrive so well!

What a sweet little Pumpkin! Aren't newborns so incredibly amazing. Do you ever get that feeling of overwhelming love come over you when holding them and looking at them that almost frightens you? It may sound strange, but I don't know how to better describe it. Bridget, you are blessed to have a "husband who swaggers" when he hears you are expecting again. I know you must be thanking God for that.

Oh, I do get that overwhelming feeling. Especially with the babies but with the older kids too. I just love to watch them play outside. That's when I ought to be getting something done, but sometimes I just watch them.

What a chunk of joy she is!

So sweet, you just wanna eat 'm up as I say while I nibble at them and they giggle hilariously. Love that!
