Today I delivered baby number 8, our 3rd at home, and our 1st girl. My Church, my home, and my friends group has had babies and pregnancy announcements in mass this year, and that gives me a lot of hope for the future.

My oldest son is learning to drive, and our newest is just a few hours old. Seeing all those smiling faces and coming home to such a wonderful wife has been one of the greatest joys of my life.

Living simply, will slow the world around you, and you can take a breath and enjoy all of the things that would normally pass you by.

“But for those whose life is far removed from all business it must be amply long. None of it is frittered away, none of it scattered here and there, none of it committed to fortune, none of it lost through carelessness, none of it wasted on largesse, none of it superfluous: the whole of it, so to speak, is well invested. So, however short, it is fully sufficient, and therefore whenever his last day comes, the wise man will not hesitate to meet death with a firm step.”
