You, too should go.

Happy Birthday to Amy

I love my wife. Love her. (That's her on the left.)

She's great. She's greater than great--she's super great.

She makes me feel like a s'more. She's just terrific.

Today is her birthday so I bought her the song below on iTunes. Everyone in the whole wide world knows it from the Mac commercials. There are many things to like about the song, but I like it because it's like Amy--delightful and it makes you smile when you think of it.

I dare you not to smile when you hear this song or when you think of Amy. It can't be done.

"Jesus, here is John the Milkman"

When St. Josemaria was a young parish priest, there was a milkman who entered his Church every morning for a few seconds. "Jesus, here is John the milkman." To the young priest, that prayer seemed simple and beautiful (Weekly Video: 01'21'').

I found this video clip and was charmed by the story. I like how St. Josemaria shounds like heesh lishping.

Chesterton Monologue

I just saw a link to this on the blog of the American Chesterton Society.

This is pretty funny.

The Star of Bethlehem

Probably the best Christmas present I received was a DVD about the Star of Bethlehem. Check out the Web site associated with the film. It is a truly amazing video that shows what great lengths God goes to to reveal himself to us.

Here is the link: The Star of Bethlehem

Below is a short promotional video about the DVD.

The Drapeau Men's Family Revue

Kids' Saint's Day Speeches

Every year, in lieu of a Halloween celebration at the school, our kids have a saint's day celebration. All the kids in the school research a saint and then give a short presentation about that saint's life dressed as the saint they've chosen.

The quality of the video is not that good, but I posted them fast, so no complaints.

This year, we had the following saints:

Olivia, as St. Clare of Assisi



Joseph, as St. Jude Thaddeus



Sophia, as St. Colette



For good measure, we also have Max as St. Luke (Skywalker)

Makes Good Better

Here is an outstanding little commercial that captures the Natalist philosophy quite nicely.  Hat tip to Mamapajama.

Field of Flowers (Narnia the Musical)

Here is Sophia's big solo from Narnia. We are so proud of her!
