Time for a break from controversy. Here’s a photo of my daughter Anna before the preschool Christmas concert tonight. On Saturday, she’ll be 3 1/2.

In your kindness please pray today for the repose of the soul of Elsie Fay (Browning) Chonak, my own dear mother, who passed away Monday afternoon, December 15, during an operation. She was born in 1930 and was baptized in 1997. May the Lord who rewards the workers of the late hour bring her to Himself in everlasting life.

Help! I’m snowed in and can’t get my car out of the drifts. If I stay home any longer, I’m going to start cleaning. Send Oreos!

It’s our first day or real cold here in DC (will be in the 20s tonight) so here’s a winter picture of Teresa and our dog Eva to get you prepared for what comes next.

So yesterday, my older two kids were playing “church.” My daughter Anna, who is 3, energetic, and mischevous, got up and ran away to the other side of the room, giggling all the way. Charlie, 4, got upset and ran after her, shaking a ruler in his hand and yelling, “Anna, you can’t leave church early before it’s done!”
At least one of my kids isn’t going to do the Judas shuffle after communion when he grows up….
