Alright, back to our regularly scheduled happy-program!

First of all: New Pope! Yay! My God bless and guide Pope Francis. What an exciting time to be Catholic.

I was struck by the simplicity and humility he showed in his very first audience with the people. Simple clothes, sincere bow and honest words.

Here’s a fantastic quote from then Cardinal Bergoglio, in regards to loving people instead of judging them:

Jesus teaches us another way: Go out. Go out and share your testimony, go out and interact with your brothers, go out and share, go out and ask. Become the Word in body as well as spirit.

Amen!

Now, in news from our house. Our beautiful friend Marie and her handsome son Harvey stayed with us last week. What a treat! Patrick, her husband, surprised her by driving up for the weekend too. Considering he’s in Medical school, this was no small gesture. It’s wonderful to see such a good friend married to a truly good man.

So, I got to shoot pictures of this family all weekend, and they are ridiculously photogenic. Here’s proof:

  Next up, pics of my own kids. Promise!
