Weekend wrap up.

We are now halfway through the holidays and we are having a great time. Saturday morning Tom, Amelia and Joseph  came to mass with us and straight after, Amelia, Joseph and I went shopping and Steve and Tom went and did some work for St. Vinnies. I spent the day preparing meals for the week. We had a visit from some friends from Adelaide in the afternoon. They came to Saturday vigil mass with us. After mass,  Steve and i went to a friends 50th birthday party. It was nice to get out on our own.
Today we had the morning at home.  In the afternoon, Steve, Brigette and I went to a talk on human trafficking. It was quite eye opening to hear about how people are abused and manipulated into being slaves to others. I didn't realize this is happening in Australia but it is.
Here is a photo I snapped today that I wanted to share. This is one of the things I love about having 8 children. My older children help out a lot with the younger ones and it makes life much easier.

That's such a beautiful photo, Therese! It's so lovely when the older children take care of the younger ones - and isn't it sweet when big brothers show their gentle side?

God bless, Therese:-)

Thanks so much Vicky. When I saw them on the lounge together, I had to snap the photo and show. So many people don't realise that there are many positive things that come from a larger family.

Awww.... Precious photo, Therese. It is truly one of the best perks, I agree. :0) Glad you and
Steve got a chance to get out together! Can't get enough of that! :0)

Thanks Lisa. It was the highlight of our holidays. We decided we will try and get away every holidays for a night on our own.

Please pray for a cure for Type One Diabetes

Please pray for a cure for Type One Diabetes
Our sons Tom and Christopher and our daughter Amelia are type one diabetics. We pray everyday for a cure. We do not want one by illicit means though so don't support any organisation that contributes to Embryonic Stem Cell Research. Click on the photo of Tom and Christopher to read about why I am against using Embryonic Stem cells for a cure.
