One day I'll have more time and energy to post more than just a weekly wrap-up, but for now these are scratching the motherly itch I have to document our family memories and milestones. Good enough is good enough, I suppose.

Last Friday, Phil and I attended a fundraiser dinner for the Mass Citizens for Life and we got to hear from former Press Secretary, Kayleigh McEnaney, who was awesome. She's a brilliant Harvard Law grad, with great stories that show how spiritual she is. She was friends with Charlie Kirk and spoke about him and his mission for a good ten minutes before she started her planned talk. She just had her third baby 3 months ago, and was starting a new morning show the next day. What a woman!
We also heard from a young woman who was able to use the resources from MCFL to get help with an Abortion Pill Reversal (when a woman takes medication for a medical abortion, regrets it, and can take another medication to reverse it). That baby she kept is now four years old and "the best thing that ever happened to her" after what she thought was "the worst thing that ever happened to her".

We went with our pastor and friends from our parish, and it was a really fun night. OH! I was recognized by someone who reads my blog! She was very kind to stop me and say she knew me and I was thoroughly embarrassed and delighted. Now I can't remember her name but HI!
When our pastor and seminarian walked in I looked at them in their black outfits and made the comment about how nice it must be to always know what you are going to wear to any event. Our pastor shared that my boys had served Mass that morning, and Father had asked them if we were excited to go out to the dinner that night. Declan and Brendan decided to share *in detail* how many dresses and shoes I had tried on the night before to see what fit and finally pick one out. There are no secrets when you have kids!
