Carmen Marcoux, the amazing wife, mother and author of Arms of Love and Surrender has co-written a children's book with her husband James. The outstanding illustrations were hand-painted by their talented daughter Rebekah. This was truly a family project created with a lot of love and hard work! But it all paid off because the end result is a beautiful and heartwarming story of love and self-sacrifice through the eyes of a child.

You can read it online before you purchase it. I am hoping to start selling them here at RoL but in the meantime, you can order them directly from Carmen at One Way Publishing. Here are more details.

Quick Catch-Up

I have a few minutes before I have to get to work so I thought I'd make a quick post and catch up with you!

Life has been going well here. We are busy with the holidays and preparing our hearts for Christ. It is a little easier when I am pregnant (and can feel my little one squirming inside of me) to connect with Our Lady and how she must have felt waiting for the Savior's birth as she felt Baby Jesus move and kick inside of her. Blessed be God!

Speaking of my little one, I am beyond the half way point now, at almost 2 weeks. We went for an ultrasound two weeks ago and we were able to see a glimpse of our little one's face. Here is a pic.
