While mom ran errands this morning, Dad marshalled the troops and accomplished much of the morning’s work. The reward? An afternoon at Sycamore Plains where the children were instructed in the use of a compound bow. Even little Emily was able to try her hand at archery:
The conservation officers were excellent instructors:
So was Daddy!
Emily made this shot by herself…she’s pretty good!

I am a traditional Catholic homeschooling mother of 9 children, married for 30 years to the most patient and sainted man. As converts to Catholicism in 1991, our family has only recently discovered the beauty and full expression of our beliefs in the timeless liturgy of antiquity, the Extraordinary Form also commonly referred to as the Traditional Latin Mass. An avid knitter, I also enjoy gardening, reading and immersing myself in the everyday graces of my vocation.

Hi Kimberly!
What a wonderful family!! I was reading some traditional blogs and then found yours… I am SO impressed!! What a devotion you all have! You just can’t imagine how much I desire that many other catholic families be like yours.
Congratulations!! May God preserve you and the Virgin Mary intercede for your causes.
Sancta Virgo Virginum, ora pro nobis!
