~ Capturing the context of contentment in everyday life ~
Here are some favorite Instagram photos from the past week.

Happy feast day of St. Anne and St. Joachim! St. Anne is my patron saint so she has a special place in my heart. (Especially since I prayed to her continuously to find a holy husband and later to be able to conceive children. She didn’t disappoint on either account.) This photo was taken at the Carmel Mission Chapel.
I looove these flowers on the walls. They are all over downtown Carmel.
Lately, I have been walking more in the evening than the morning so I have more sunset shots.

It’s hard to believe that someone so small and cute could get into so many shenanigans. (See photos below.)
I have to keep Matthew busy to keep him out of trouble. Here he is looking at his book at the library.
We went to the mall but left Matthew at home with Brian. Andrew begged me to let him sit in Matthew’s seat (even though he could barely get his legs in the stroller.) He was happy that I let him relive his youth.

Matthew got tired of sharpening pencils. He sharpens straws now.
I bought a 2-pack of Thomas hats but John-Paul put it on without separating the hats first. He looked like Sherlock Holmes.
(Warning to my mom: Do not look at this photo. You will think that you have failed to teach your daughter the importance of removing their child from harm before taking a photo. Luckily, I always have my camera phone on me and I’ve become a pro at snapping a blurry shot as I am running to remove a child from danger.)
The other day I told the kids to grab my keys so we could leave. The wrong kid heard me.

Bella begged me for this pretty Brave journal. (She loves journals as much as I do!) I got it for her and truth be told, I bought one for me too. š
It’s official. Bella is a tween. I found the first guy poster taped to her bedroom wall.
Matthew finally conked out after a long day of testing my patience. (Notice how we had to remove the couch cover and the seat cushions because he kept jumping on the couch and falling off. This way he just sits. Go figure.
