PSA

You're probably wondering why I haven't published any new pics with my awesome new camera.  Well, it's because it's not here yet.  I'm telling you right now, NEVER ever order anything from Mellodigital.  And apparently everyone on the internet knew they were thieves and liars except me.  (ALWAYS read reviews of a place before ordering something.  Lesson learned.)  Anyway, we cancelled the order and I ordered one on ebay and it should be here this week.  Unfortunately not in time for Madeleine's birthday, but soon afterwards.  While I've been waiting, I've been working on editing photos.  Maybe an old dog CAN learn new tricks!  We shall see!

Speaking of Madeleine.  She got in huge trouble tonight for directly disobeying and spent most of the day in her room.  She came down at dinnertime and said she had asked God for help to be better.  We also prayed a decade of the rosary as a family (what we are doing for lent.)  I made sure to tell her that we still loved her and we would always forgive her if she asked, just like God does for all of us when we mess up.  She was pretty penitential :)  

We are doing the Papal Unit study this week over at Shower of Roses.  It has been so fun!  We watched Pope Benedict's departure yesterday, and talked about the conclave and looked at pictures of the Sistene chapel.  Then we made a German feast in his honor, complete with soft pretzels.  Yum!  

Ok I'll leave you with one more with my point and shoot I'm happy with, until my 3200 gets here!  This is the first really good smile I've caught on camera :)
