It seems so long ago now but they are only 2 1/2 years old. They were born full term ON their DUEDATE! :-) I had them at home with a special team of midwives and nurses (previous twin birth experience). The first was 7 lb 4 oz the second was footling breach and weighed 6 lb 11 oz. I know this time is tough. I pray you will be blessed with peace. After those sweet ones are born if you need another twin mom to talk to please feel free to email me anytime. I'm sure the other mom's of twins would extend the same invitation. It's a different experience than mothering a singleton and sometimes you just need to talk to someone who has been on the same path. I have a twin mom friend whom I call every week! :-D We lovingly and jokingly call it 'our therapy session'! Peace to you! I remember the bedrest times with my twins.

I just want you to know that there is a Christian sister here in Nashville with a tender place in her heart and words of prayer on her lips for you. May today bring you a real, hearfelt assurance that His grace is sufficient for you, His power made perfect in your weakness. Spring Julie,

K. Chesterton and I wonder why you hate ecumenical talk since he himself was a convert to Catholicism. Another good author is Dr. Scott Hahn, also a convert with a tremandous amount of insite of the Catholic faith from a Biblical understanding. He and his family remind me alot of you and yours...seeking truth. I see your quote of G. K. Chesterton and I wonder why you hate ecumenical talk since he himself was a convert to Catholicism.

His word is not alcarte. It is what it is entirely. Then he took the bread, said the blessing, broke it, and gave it to them, saying "This is my body, which will be given for you; DO THIS in memory of me." Luke 22:19 That is what the Catholic church teaches, It is what is celebrated every Sunday at mass. This is central to all that we believe and hold sacred, The real presence of our Lord in the Eucharist...The bread that has been consecrated has become the bread of life ...the new covenant. Our holy father (in Rome) is not to say he takes the place of our Father who is in heaven, he is his representative who continues to celebrate the consecration of the bread of life and leads his fold as the succesor of Peter. It is Apostolic. My question is how do you think that we are to be in one accord when there are so many fractions of the church that seem to have dismissed such a command? To be one in Christ ,there is a need for all to come to the banquet the Lord himself has provided. The rosary is a prayerful devotion to ask for our Blessed Mother to pray for us sinners now and at the hour of death. I think for myself as a sinner, I could use the Queen of heaven praying for me...We are family...a large family. Peace of Christ to you and your beautiful family!

What inspired me to get on "the net" this morning was the hope of finding a recipe and I think I got more than what I bargained for. It has been a delight to know there are other moms out there who seek the best they can give their children. That being said families are not born over night, they evolve with all they overcome and with each new blessing! As a mother of 6 I'm at a point (and so is my husband) that I know we are ready for a change. I am curious to know how you made the transition to the rural life? P.S. I married my high school sweatheart too. O.K. What inspired me to get on “the net” this morning was the hope of finding a recipe and I think I got more than what I bargained for.

We were selling/showing our home until shortly before our 9th baby was born, and I can tell you, we didn't sell a moment too soon. I just couldn't handle the stress any longer! The last time we showed it I was in tears and despaired of getting through that stage of our lives. I was so thankful it sold when it did. It gave us two months to move and get settled before the baby was born. I can't imagine doing all that with twins on the way. Glad to hear your family is taking such good care of you and that you can take a break from shopping days. Thinking of you often! ~Annette Yes, you need to take your Mother’s advice and keep us posted more often!
