We recently traveled back North, first stopping in Indiana then heading to Michigan to visit with my family for Thanksgiving. It was a great trip, with lots of laughter and visiting, some snow, and many many visits to Our Lord. We left in the early hours of the morning on the 19th and managed to make it to South...

Last night we went to Mass and stayed for adoration and I can happily say that our kids did fairly well. The two youngest wiggled and the books we brought for them were looked at in about two minutes, but we lasted the whole hour. I even got some spiritual reading in as well.
