October and beyond

October begins my favorite time of the year: cooler weather (we pray), fall activities (including lots of baking), and several holidays. It all kicks off with the feast of Saint Therese who is very important to our family. We celebrated this morning by venerating our first class relic of Saint Therese, going to mass, and out to breakfast. As the month continues we will celebrate our anniversary (#3) and my birthday, ending the month with the eve of all Saints. November brings Thanksgiving followed by advent activities and then before we know it we will be singing happy birthday to Jesus. These three months really are the best time of the year!

Despite the stubborn heat that refuses to let up I already made my first round of pumpkin bread.

 

Saint Therese, pray for us
