Second Sunday of Lent

My oldest child, her godmother, and I attended a truly wonderful women's conference on Saturday.  The theme?  MERCY CHANGES EVERYTHING.  Beautiful, true, timely.  I am still contemplating the words and the liturgy from the priests and speakers.  It's been a long time since I've attended a conference, and what a joy to share this experience with my daughter and dear friend (who I consider to be my godmother, too, in a sense, because she was my RCIA sponsor).  

We returned home Saturday night to happy kids, a tired husband (God bless him), most of the laundry clean and folded (again, God bless my husband).  Sunday was unseasonably warm.  After church, three of my kids plus the puppy took a long walk and Joy snapped the picture above.  Her Instagram caption read, "Sometimes being a brother is even better than being a super hero."  Love this.

It was a good weekend.  Hope you all have a blessed day.
