“…roses are not gathered except in the midst of thorns and … heroic acts of virtue are accomplished only in weakness.”

-St. Vincent de Paul

Before moving to California, I had never seen such large roses. This vine blooms 75% of the year. We are spoil in many ways.

“The glory of God is that man lives. Behold, man lives in Christ. Here is the moment in which what he, Christ, said is accomplished: ‘I am the resurrection and the life; whoever believes in me, even if he dies, will live’ (John 11:25).”

—St. John Paul II

This was such a fun event that we didn't have to plan. Thank you, Jesus, for my family!

Sweet Pea offered some of her eggs to a little girl who didn't get as many. It made her mom so happy. The coordinators encouraged the bigger kids to share with the littler kids. This made me proud.

There were several gems today like this one:

“Knock, knock.”

“Who’s there?”

“Boo.”

“Boo who?”

[Long pause…..]

“Boo who, orange you glad I didn’t say ‘orange peel?’”

That is as funny as Good Friday.

Sweet Pea made her debut. Sometime in the last two weeks she figured out proper pushup form. Thank you for all the donations! We reached over $1,100.00 and were the only family with four kids to in school to reach our goal via grassroots efforts.
