Papal Visit to NYC!
On Saturday, April 19, I had the opportunity to see Pope Benedict as he went from St. Patrick's Cathedral to the Youth Rally at St. Joseph's Seminary. Kate, Wendy and I made signs for him and wove them into the crowd-control grate. Mine said "Totus Tuus", Kate's said "Bene a Bono" (Benedict is Good) and Wendy's said "We love you, Holy Father" We were certain he saw our posters as he passed us by. So certain that the Holy Father STOPPED the parade, got out, and gave us his own blessing! We got a personal picture with him*!
John and I also had the privilege of attending Mass at Yankee Stadium. Here's a picture of us:
And a picture of the crowd. Note the Pope mobile in the lower center. The crowd was WILD and excited to have the chance to share a Mass with the Holy Father!!
Here is a video clip from Yankee Stadium. It's about 4 minutes long, but captures the excitement of the Holy Father's arrival into the stadium, and the outpouring of love and affection NYC gave to him!
*OK, so the "personal" picture of the Holy Father with Katie and I...sorry. It's a cardboard stand-up of the Pope. But I thought it was funny anyways!

April
We went to visit the Sisters of the Sacred Heart of Jesus in early April. Miriam was having a moment of clingy-ness and hunger.
Miriam in sunglasses. She put them on herself, but they only stayed on for all of 2 minutes. I had to force this picture. I'm hoping that she'll warm up to them by the time the weather actually warms up.
A picture with my mother:
Sign that spring is on the way, daffodils!

Catching up by the month, February!
Miriam's favorite toy is "BeBe"(Blanket Bear). She does everything with it. Here she is eating with BeBe, but being funny about wearing it...
