Chasing Cherubim: January 2014

http://chasingcherubim.blogspot.com/2014_01_01_archive.html

One dad, one mom, five beautiful kiddos - doing our best to follow God's plan for our family. Friday, January 10, 2014. Flashback Friday - And Then He Kissed Me. The sound of a kiss is not so loud as that of a cannon, but its echo lasts a great deal longer. I proceeded to hum "And then he kissed me." the entire next day at work. Nothing much came of that first kiss. I pseudo-dated that boy who seemed a little shady and all kinds of mysterious for MAYBE. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile.

One dad, one mom, five beautiful kiddos - doing our best to follow God's plan for our family. Wednesday, March 26, 2014. The heavy fog of postpartum depression. This is the face of PPD. I don't look terribly sad, do I? But it was never constant or bad enough that I actually went to the doctor for my crazy symptoms. And then I had babies. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Chasing Cherubim: January 2015

http://chasingcherubim.blogspot.com/2015_01_01_archive.html

One dad, one mom, five beautiful kiddos - doing our best to follow God's plan for our family. Thursday, January 29, 2015. About thirty minutes into my work routine, I heard it. There was this tiny little nudge. It wasn't audible. Just a small hint in the back of my mind. The nudge was reminding me that on this particular morning, daily Mass was happening during my work schedule, just down the hall, and I had time to go. Or did I? Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

One dad, one mom, five beautiful kiddos - doing our best to follow God's plan for our family. Saturday, August 3, 2013. Greta Girl - A Birth Story. How do you begin to write a birth story that everyone told you you would never experience? This is the difficulty I've been having over the past few days. Greta made such a graced entrance into this world, but few people know the fight we had to go through to get her here that way. This is our story. I didn't know. but I was determined to find out.

Chasing Cherubim: September 2013

http://chasingcherubim.blogspot.com/2013_09_01_archive.html

One dad, one mom, five beautiful kiddos - doing our best to follow God's plan for our family. Tuesday, September 17, 2013. Apparently something shifts in the minds of others when a family goes from three kids to four. I can't tell you how many times since Greta was born that we've heard the question, "So are you done? Or "Is she your last one? Our canned answer is always something like, "Who knows." or "We'll see," or "Well. we can fit one more in the van so.". Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

One dad, one mom, five beautiful kiddos - doing our best to follow God's plan for our family. Tuesday, September 30, 2014. Ten years ago three of my best friends in the whole world and I finished up a novena to St. Thérèse of Lisieux, and we had no idea what God would do with our prayer intention. So when we all began to read The Story of a Soul. The autobiography of St. Thérèse),. Ten years ago three of my best friends in the whole world and I finished up a novena to St. Thérèse.
