I’m so glad I no longer have to stare at this.
Waiting to hear this.
 In order to meet him.
Because this is what happens when my eyes are glued to the conclave chimney/Twitter/Facebook/Vatican live feed/EWTN/NBC while my ears are tuned to SiriusXM’s The Catholic Channel waiting for history to unfold.
 Indeed, life may now resume as normal … with Pope Francis as our shepherd!
Can this count as a {pretty, happy, funny, real} post? I’d say these photos here capture the context of contentment in a day that just so happens to be one when the Church met our new Holy Father! I’m fudging a bit, I know, but I’m tired and needed to get something posted about today’s historic events. Just head over to Like Mother, Like Daughter to see how {phfr} is really done well!
Hilarious! My 3rd child got up from nap at 4:30 and I said, “Guess what happened while you were sleeping?” He was not impressed. (Sigh. Three-almost-four-year-olds.) :)
Too funny! 4-yo Lucy had a similar reaction. But once I reminded her of a song she knows about St. Francis and talked about Pope Francis, she seemed to get into it a bit more. She’ll do anything to be “on stage.” :)
