Ryan and Juliet

Countless times I prayed to Mary, mother of Jesus, to help me get pregnant when Dan and I were trying.  I prayed that she would intervene for us and help send us our baby.  Apparently she heard and sent us two!  Yay!  So this past Saturday our babies were baptized and I thanked Mary in my mind and in my heart for sending us our angels.

Father also spoke of how babies help to provide perspective in our material world and I have to say that hit home for me.  Recently, I have been surprised to find myself not really caring as much for the nice clothes I usually buy on a whim or the household items that I just have to have.  I guess this is what contentment feels like.  All I want are my babies and my husband and I have them!  Material things don’t include wine right?
