Did everyone else goof up the responses today? All in all, it went well though. I am thankful for our priest who carefully went through all the changes and explained them (all the whys, wherefores, and how comes) after the homily over the last few months. It went a long way to help us understand the changes and make them comfortable for us.
Advent is here!
This will be our new "breakfast time read":
My posts about these books that we have read during past advents:
I had so much fun participating with several other ladies in an advent 2011 share, yet, even as I was working on it, I realized that our family is in transition. I don't know how it happened- we are no longer a family with little children. I am mindful that an 8 yo is still young. However, with our three youngest being 8, 11, and 13, the dynamic in our family is very different. We will hold on to our traditions, but we have the opportunity delve in deeper to this very precious time to prepare for our Lord's birth. We will have a family meeting tonight to how that might take hold.

Laurie, I imagine that's true, that as our children age, some traditions turn into variations of traditions. And I'll learn from you! I'll be interested to hear and read how your traditions develop and form into variations. God bless your Advent.
Laurie,
My older boys are resistant to many things now. They don't mind a brief prayer or reflection as we light the Advent wreath (which still remains boxed up this year!) But, I doubt I could get them to do a nightly reading like the one you are doing.
Thank you so much for linking up to the 40 Days of Seeking Him meme. I hope you'll come back and link up more posts.
I am looking forward to participating in the meme with you. Can't wait to read more in the coming weeks.
Blessings,
Trish
