Karol just finished his last math test for first grade. 🙂 Now to just do the assesment tests on spelling and religion and we can officially close out the school year. I already ordered the materials for "next year" for both Karol and Margaret. Margaret is so excited about starting first grade that she keeps asking,...
Sometimes I think of Birmingham, Alabama as my second southern home. It is where I go on retreat, it is where we have many religious friends, and it is a city, where, while visiting, I feel pretty comfortable in. This weekend, the whole family went to Birmingham to attend the priestly ordinations of Fr. Leonard and...

Yep, that's my Uncle Mike! He was diagnosed with lung cancer in 2009 and has beat it three different times. He is one tough guy, I tell you. This article talks about how he gives back!
With Santorum out of the race, where do his supporters turn? I have been told that we all need to unite behind Romney, but I am not willing to go there. Romney still has major issues that I cannot move beyond and I still don't feel that he is the "one to beat Obama". One of those issues is his view of torture. I...
