Here are some pictures from the first half of May. It has been very busy around here, not starting with, but certainly including Xavier’s first communion. Marianne flew out for the event, and here she is walking kids to school. The obligatory “cleans up nice” shot… and the obligatory shot of the moment… The next…

I Am Related To A Muslim

I am Catholic. I wouldn’t say I am proud to be Catholic, but on the other hand I am not ashamed to say it. My cousin Sara identifies as Muslim, particularly of the Sufi faith. I knew of her Sufi identification, but for some reason never made the connection between Sufi and Muslim. Sara is…
