New directions?

It's been 19 days since I last posted, but never fear, I am here! Trying to stick with my "1 hour or less of internet for Lent" resolution, which I do well with most days (but not all...)  Also trying to figure out where this blog is going, if I do keep up with it.  We have some changes coming!  Firstly, we have to find another home for our chickens (long story, but turns out we are not zoned for chickens).  Also, we have decided to let dd1 go to public next year, and possibly the year after that.  And dd3 will be going to pre-school (which was always the plan, I have no desire to homeschool for pre-school and Kindergarten!) 

So there's that.  I would also like to ask my Catholic readers to please pray for the intercession of Bl. Kateri, for our daughter Riley's eyesight to be miraculously healed.  Bl. Kateri is in need of a miracle for canonization, and she is the perfect intercessor for Riley!  Her feast day is on Riley's birthday, and she also had very poor eyesight as a result of smallpox.  It would be wonderful if we could use a miracle for our daughter to help Bl. Kateri's Sainthood!

Most definitely will pray for your little Riley and ask Bl. Kateri's intercession.

Kateri is my patron this year, and our company's name sake so, I love her and yes, I will ask her intercession for your daughter's eye sight. I've been praying to Bl. Solanas Casey for healing for our son's eye sight as a miracle for Br. Casey's cannonization so if I could ask your prayers too, may God's will be done!

Of course, Anne Marie! I didn't know your son had poor eye sight, too, I will definitely as for Bl Casey's intercession!

What made you decide to send your dd to public school next year? We're contemplating the same for our middle child, who is currently in Catholic school.

Amy, it's mostly because she's very insistent that she would like to go. It's a nice little country school that I actually really like, so I felt like I didn't really have any overwhelming objections to sending her.
