happy birthday
Everyone is invited!!!

Caity’s birthday started quite early than her ordinary days. We attended the 8 am Mass. Since it’s the feast day of St. Monica (the mother of St. Augustine), the priest said that the Mass celebration is dedicated to all the mothers who sacrificed and prayed for their children. He further said that their prayers might not be answered immediately (in case of St. Monica, her prayers were answered after 18 years) … So today is for both of us, mother and child. 

Thank you Lord for this special day!

Walking out from the church.  Caity obviously still looks sleepy.
