In some ways it reminds me of <em>This House of Brede<\/em> (maybe just because it&#8217;s about cloistered nuns?).<\/p>\n<p><strong>I am hoping<\/strong> the sun will come out today. I wanted to take Luke&#8217;s 6 month portrait today.<\/p>\n<p><strong>I am hearing<\/strong> two puppies playing and tugging on a dog toy. India is a small black lab mix and Pixie is a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Around the house<\/strong> too many things need cleaning and putting away.
