Menu Plan: September 28 - October 4

We arrived home late Monday night from the baptism trip, exhausted. It was a beautiful thing to be there with Dominic and Shawn and Winifred while she was welcomed and initiated into the household of God. Different work schedules meant that the whole family couldn't be there the whole weekend, but all the kids and their spouses and kids were able to be there Sunday, which was the best.

Since this is late, I'm just hoping it will help people in retrospect. Yasmina will be elsewhere Friday night, so we are taking that opportunity to eat shrimp, as it is not her favorite.

We have Jerome's name day this week, and we are seeking the prayers of both Saint Jerome and you, as we get ready for his next surgery. One of the plates in his jaw has sprung and it will need to be removed and replaced.
