Little Flowers Meeting #1: Faith

This month the girls learned about Faith. The flower was the sunflower because they always turn their faces to the sun (as should we turn to the "Son"). The saint that models this virtue is St. Catherine of Sienna. They learned about what it means to have faith and how we express our faith. For the craft they made door hangers that said "Prayer Time" so they could put them on their rooms in order to have quiet prayer time. I think they had a good time. We can't wait for next month.

Country Living: Ducks

Our neighbor has raised 10 ducklings and they often make their rounds down the street to visit each home. These pictures were from the 1st night we saw them. I couldn't believe how many there were. They were gobbling up all the crickets. Now, we can feed them the old bread!

Raquel Welch on the Pill and Sex

I was watching Huckabee and saw this surprising interview with Raquel Welch (the famous woman from this poster...who I honestly could not have told you her name before today). She spoke about her views on the effects of the pill on women, and the meaning of sex. It's was very refreshing, and honestly shocking coming from a feminist sex figure straight out of the 60's!
