On the Homefront

Spending time with St. Francis

I took the kids to the Basilica of the National Shrine on Holy Thursday morning for a pilgrimage with our friends, the Hebert’s.  It was gorgeous weather and after visiting the Blessed Sacrament and going through several of our favorite chapels, we strolled out to the Mary garden to start on our second set of Mysteries to the Rosary (we do one set each way in the car and one while we are there… I did the fourth by myself later in the day to complete the entire Rosary).  I only took a few pictures and then Therese and Myriam went to work photographing the beauty of the day.  Most of the “artistic shots” were taken by Therese.  She filled the camera!  These are only a few of her captured moments.  Thank you to the Hebert’s for a wonderful morning and joining us for a beautiful pilgrimage.
