My backyard and 2011 Patron Saint

This is my backyard.  And I LOVE it!  Jack's not at school today so we'll be going out sledding later!  I'm such a winter nerd!



I love Jen's suggestion of randomly generating a Patron Saint for 2011.  So I stole it!  :) 

My Patron Saint for 2011 is..............................St. Rose of Lima

My chin almost hit the floor when her name popped up on my screen because my husband and I always said if we have a girl we will name her ROSE!  Is it a sign???  I don't want to get TOO optimistic, so for now we'll just say it's a crazy coincidence!!

  1. I am a winter nerd too!! And I love St. Rose. We ask for to intercede for us every night when we pray together - my DH and I. We named our 2nd baby lost to miscarriage Rose and I have felt connected to that saint ever since then. She is awesome...what a GREAT saint that picked you for 2011!
