Feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe
Today we celebrated the feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe - Patroness of the Americas and Patroness of the Unborn.
The story of Our Lady’s image is truly miraculous. If you don’t know the story you can read about it here.
Daddy read the story of The Lady of Guadalupe to the whole family this evening.
Listening to the story I felt an overwhelming sense of gratitude for so beautiful a mother who loves us so deeply.
In our house we also celebrated the birthday of our sweet and precious Margaret Mary who turned 7 years old today.
As we have just welcomed our newest daughter Maria - on the feast of Saint Juan Diego no less - things were quite low key this year with a simple cake and family gathering after Grammie and Pop Pop took Maggie out to dinner at Friendly’s.
We have promised that Maggie will have a party next year and Alice over at Cottage Blessings has given us some great ideas we plan to use for a birthday tea party, while Kim at Starry Sky Ranch linked to these exquisite paper flower bouquets that will be the perfect finishing touch.

OOps. I just noticed the form was posting my comments with Karen Edmisten’s URL for some reason. Here’s mine.
