Cast Off!
Posted by Rachel Balducci in Family on Friday, July 03, 2009
Just a quick note to thank you all for the prayers, support and encouragement you have offered my family over the last seven weeks (seven weeks, one day, six hours) since Henry broke his leg and got his cast.
Henry had his cast removed this past Tuesday and everything is rainbows and roses, glorious and grand. What a relief! God is good, his mercy never comes to an end.
The Case for Large Families
Posted by Rachel Balducci in Family on Wednesday, July 01, 2009
Tonight we celebrated the birthday of my six-year-old nephew. Friends and family members converged at a local park for a few hours of fun, where we were all pleasantly surprised by the mild temps and gentle breezes. July in Georgia can be hot, and tonight wasn’t too bad at all.
I have mentioned I’m the oldest of eight children (the picture is my family at my bowling birthday party this past June),... READ MORE

As Danielle shared with you on Sunday, she and I were blessed to meet in person this week at the Catholic New Media Celebration organized by SQPN.com. One of the thrills of the weekend for me was spending time in person with Mrs. Bean, who has long been one of my role models. Danielle and I have “known” one another online for years, so it was a complete joy to simply “hang out” with her for a few... READ MORE
A Grand Ole Flag

The following is an award-winning Fourth of July cake—I know this to be true because a few years ago I took second place in our neighborhood July 4th dessert contest! (Long-time readers will understand why I wept with joy upon hearing the news.)
The cake comes to us by way of The Barefoot Contessa, Ina Garten, and is every bit as delicious as it is patriotic and cute. I’m including the recipe here... READ MORE
T.V. or not T.V.
Posted by Rachel Balducci in Family on Thursday, June 25, 2009
We are a one television family. Well, technically we are a two television family, but one t.v. is the ancient little number Paul and I bought as newlyweds. It is a small, two-ton unit that sits in a closet until we lug it out for movie viewing from time to time.
Lately, that t.v. has been in Paul’s and my bedroom. We set it up when Henry came home from the hospital with his cast, back when he was... READ MORE

Daddy's Favorite
Posted by Lisa Hendey in Just me on Monday, June 22, 2009
I hope since we’re still within the octave of Father’s Day, you’ll permit me a tardy entry into this week’s wonderful posts featuring the fathers of our Faith & Family blogging team. My entry is postponed because I was pondering the best way to share with you how absolutely crazy I am about my Daddy. When Sunday came and went without me finding the words to capture my emotions, I decided to simply... READ MORE
Father Knows Best
Posted by Rachel Balducci in Family on Friday, June 19, 2009
In honor of Father’s Day, I decided to pose a few questions to the best dad I know—mine! (I’m sure your dad is great too, of course!)
Dad, thanks for taking the time to answer. Thanks for devoting yourself so whole-heartedly to your wife and children. That you enjoy being with us so much makes life sweet.
1. What is the best part about Fatherhood?
In an earthly sense there is the great joy of developing... READ MORE
Pray Unceasingly

This evening was not fun.
My husband found out in mid-afternoon that he was going to have to work late. He ended up not leaving the office until more than three hours after his usual time.
The toddler pulled a torch lamp over into a bookshelf, shattering its globe and sending glass shards everywhere.
The baby refused to go to sleep for most of the evening, and by the time he finally crashed out he... READ MORE
Sweet Summertime
Posted by Rachel Balducci in Family on Thursday, June 04, 2009
This is our first week out of school. Some years I take a few weeks to just do “whatever” during the day—and that tends to backfire on me. This year, I have tackled the summer head-on by having a nice morning routine that encourages the much needed structure on which my boys thrive.
This is not about getting up and heading out the door, though we do have swim team during the week so we have places... READ MORE
