Well, one of the kittens had, what we thought was a puncture wound, a bot fly larva in its back. I was so disgusted, and I must admit that I still am. I told my hubby that I didn't know if I would ever be able to get over it.
Here is a video that found about a woman that had a bot fly in her head. It is not for those with weak stomachs. It is pretty nasty, but she has a bit of educational information in this video as well.

First Sunday of Lent
We did it! We survived the 1st partial week of Lent. It has been difficult, but as I continued to pray it became a bit easier. Thanks be to God for those graces. I don't think I could have made it if He wasn't helping me along.
I ran across a site that I haven't been to in a very long time the other day, and I found this letter to be one of the things I needed to hear. Laines Letters is a nice little site. The owner seems to be such a sweet and compassionate woman. I found after reading their story of how they paid off their mortgage that I was lacking in my faith in God. Sure, I believe and I thought I trusted Him, but after reading this...I realize that I have really failed in that department. I cried when I saw the truth of the matter, but then I prayed to God and poured my heart out. I realized that I am not living my vocation as God wants me to be. So, this is one of the things that I am working on for Lent this year. I pray that God will send all the graces I need to get through everything that comes my way.
On another note, we are trying to start a garden. It is frustrating and funny at the same time. See, the younger 3 girls are sort of causing a bit of trouble. The oldest one, of these garden destroyers, is over watering. I don't mean just a little bit of too much water...no I mean that there is at least 2 inches of water in the containers. Next, her younger co-conspirators are always digging into the dirt. The youngest one for some strange reason likes to rub the dirt onto her face. So, hubby and I are going to have to figure something out. We really need the little pots to stay where they are because the spot we have them in has the most sun. It looks like the mean garden mommy is going to have lay down the law! I am sure we can figure something out, but we need to do it quickly, as time is running out!
I hope that you all have a wonderful and blessed day. God bless.

Lent
Today is 3rd day of Lent. I wasn't sure what I was going to give up this year, but then my wonderful husband of 19 years reminded me that I can add something extra.
So, I have added a couple of prayers, and some religious reading.
It seems to be going well, but our Lent started off with a bang. It was such a painful Ash Wednesday, but I had been telling God that I wanted to have a good Lent this year. My heart still aches, but I am embracing this Cross and holding onto it for dear life. I do not know where it is going to go or how it will end, but I am turning it over to Christ because I know that I can not deal with this on my own. I have realized that I need to trust in God completely, I must let go of everything and leave it all in His hands. In my own hands...it is nothing, but I know that in His hands He will fix it all and it will be something beautiful.
May God bless you, and may you have a blessed Lent.

Girls Girls Girls
We have 5 beautiful daughters that we love dearly, and 4 handsome boys. What more could parents ask for?
Well, we are being blessed again, and I have to say that the estrogen is pulling further ahead! We found out that our newest blessing is a little girl. We are all so thrilled, although the boys have plans to catch up one way or another.
It is just amazing that we are going to have 5 little girls in a row. We were surprised, but happy just the same. It doesn't matter if we have a boy or a girl. A baby will be just fine thank you very much.
God is good and he has blessed us again. I couldn't be any happier.

Children Found in Dumpsters in Two Cities:When Our Children Become Trash
This is just heartbreaking! It made me cry for those poor little ones.

This Baby Can Crawl
Yes, she can. She is crawling all over the place. She is no longer unsure and scared. She decides that she is going to go somewhere and off she ventures out in the world of the house we live in. It may be little compared to the rest of the world, but to her it is a grand adventure to embark on when the traveling bug strikes!
She is a girl that will crawl where her little hands and knees will take her. In one room and out another.
There is no stopping her now!
