Christmas begins

Peace and joy reign for a time in our hearts as anxiety is forgotten during the confrontation with the timeless mystery of Incarnation.


Awkward family photo time
Attempting to get a family photo is always a challenge

Beginning a weekend trip to San Diego:
First stop: Mission San Juan Capistrano

The tourist stop: Sea World

After Mass at Mission San Diego de Alcala, the first
of the 21 California missions

The beautiful bell tower

A kind usher let the boys pretend to ring the bells

Merry Christmas: Post Midnight Mass, we all blurry eyed but smiling.

And five hours later, still smiling

Baby Jesus in his place in the nativity set we bought in Guam.

Christmas lights along the channel post feast.

Your family is beautiful. I love the picture after Midnight Mass, and on the bed in the morning. You guys make me smile! :)

That is an awfully pretty bed there.
