What I Wore Sunday

Linking up with Fine Linen and Purple and Watch Out for the Woestmans.

To be perfectly honest, I wore this Saturday night to Mass, as my husband couldn't go Sunday.

I wore another black and white dress.  Figures.  It may surprise you not at all to know that my wardrobe consists of a great deal of black and white, or plain black dresses.  Yawn on, people, it may not change any time soon.

jacket:  Old Navy, dress:  H&M, shoes:  Target  Pearls you can't really see here:  Aspen Traders
Belt:  Off of some maternity dress from Target

Summer sandals in black heels or flats would be fun - anyone know some good deals?

As I listened to the Gospel, I shifted a little uncomfortably at my, "we've got time, let's take care of the near empty gas tank" making us arrive late after the opening song.  Jesus essentially said, "drop everything" to his followers and I could've waited until after Mass to fill 'er up.  Father's homily this week focused on the hurry that we should have to serve God.  The same kind of hurry that Mary had when she went quickly to see Elizabeth because she was eager to share the good news.  What an awesome reminder about how we want to be eager to share the powerful message.  It reminded me of the beautiful thing I read in this post by Jenny - specifically #9 - about being a witness to the culture of life.  So I'm pumped to go out there this week and love sharing that message of joy!  (Anyone else notice how many more strangers connect over cute newborns in public?  People love babies.)

      This last week, wonderful people have been taking my kids on one-on-one dates.  Which rocks.  Nana(my Aunt Diana) took Sol to her house overnight.  My brother-in-law, Austin, took each boy on a different day to the Exploration Place.

Grandma took Dom to a puppet show and some other places for a whole day.  See the excited on his face?

And the best: my mother-in-law took Dom to the lake with her for the whole weekend! 

Sunday afternoon, my dad is taking Sol golfing.

I really was patting myself on the back for my productive week until this fact occurred to me, leaving me sort of realizing that I have a bunch of others to thank for that.  Pretty much always the case.

In other news, I was craving some bierocks, and my niece and I made a few 36 of them Saturday night.  I froze a ton for later.

So, Dom with Grandma, Sol with Dad, leaving me with exactly: 1 whole baby child.    I'm going to convince Wilson that we need a nap.  It will be glorious.  I'm jealous of napping me right now.
