~ Entertainment ~

  My niece adapted a story from a book she read into a short skit that all the older girls performed.  It was really good...there is definitely talent in these young girls.

~ Special Visit ~

We were very honored by the visit and time of the Carmelite Sisters.  They ate, prayed and gave a wonderful talk about their order, the history of the Carmelites, and very funny stories of their calling to their vocation.  It was a wonderful example, testimony, of God's work and their love for God.  Sister spoke so beautifully about the gifts they give to God.  About the love offered to Him as his brides. 

Here Sr. Mary Rachael with my girls and nieces.  The only one missing was my 3 year old Princess.  She was lost in the back of room...probably holding her 4th or 5th cupcake.

Our Littlest Flowers holding their tote bags.  Veronique embroidered Little Flowers above the St. Therese image and their names above the images of each girl's patron saint.

The girls LOVED these!

It was a great day but, I realized I didn't take one picture of the food table.  Not that it really mattered but, the girls and moms worked quite hard in setting up a lovely display.  Oh well...next time.

St. Therese,

Thank you for your prayers, for your examples of little ways to love God.  Continue to pray for us dear sweet friend.  Show us the ways to Heaven and pray for our little ones.  Help us set up good examples of the very way you lived.
