A Post!


Twas the last annual pro-life night at Kiddie Land. Sniff sniff...but us kiddies had fun while it lasted! Nice pictures, eh?

The day after Labor day I started another year of high school! Woot! At the beginning of almost every the year I find myself really excited about my new books, organizing and schedueling but weeks later or minutes later I find myself not following my own scheduel....

Day Two of school and guess where I am?! The fair, of course! I was obligated to go becuase my talented little violin virtuoso brother was in a "Fiddle Contest." The song on "My Playlist" thing is the beautiful song he played and guess what?! He came in 3rd place! Not bad for his first contest! Congrats, Jacob! Then, after he performed he won the "fire truck red" music stand they were raffling off. Lucky!....A loto ticket for his birthday next week dosen't sound like a bad idea right now. Oh, and I decided to post a picture of our adorable pet bunny who died a month or two ago. Almost every year the "Easter Bunny" leaves a bunny for my family. This bunny obviously didn't last very long. We don't know how or why it died. Dad said he fed it in the morning and that evning he found the poor thing dead in its cage- the rest of us were conveniently out of town that day. His name was "Paul Harvey." Paul, the year of St. Paul and Harvey, the movie. RIP, Paul!

Wowza!

Realizing it's already August...I'm back!....sorta!

Well, July came and gone but it was packed with fun. The way Summer is supposed to be! If only it slowed down just a little bit....

The highlight of our summer is and was the annual "Face the Truth Tour" with the Pro-life Action League. Mostly good reactions this year. People seemed to be very happy to see us this year though there were some counter protesters one day but they only invigorate us. ;-) Here are a few pictures:
The Kennedy Overpass
Slackers!...Nope! They were great and enjoyed it!Ooo...that's small....

That same weekend we went to Louisville, Kentucky for the Eternal Life Conference sponsored by the Cardinal Mindszenty Foundation. It was very enjoyable as Archbishop Burke was one of the key-note speakers. We had a pleasant walk around Louisville too.

Can you guess who Louisville is named after? Louis XVI (....and Marie Antoinette hehe)


We attended a High Mass at St. Martin of Tours Parish which was awesome. It had the first-class relics (skeletons) of Sts. Bonosa (Virgin and Martyr) and Magnus (Roman Centurion, Martyr) from 200 AD. Unfortunately, I lack pictures and can't seem to find much about them.
Then, on Thursday, my very excellent mother drove us up to the Shrine of Our Lady of Guadalupe in La Crosse. Wisconsin is beautiful and so is the Shrine!




Enjoy your summer!~
