Raising 8: A couple of sinners trying to raise saints

Michael and Lori have low energy from poor sleep and water quality issues. As we approach the season of Lent they talk about bearing crosses in our lives. Show note: Lori confuses her children movie references when talking about the phrase "be prepared."

An underwhelming Super Bowl, Valentine's Day, Driver's Ed for Parents, and preparing our families for Lent. Michael and Lori cover a lot of ground in this week's episode.

Brady the cat makes his debut and Michael had to give a talk to parents, on the easiest topic of all, at the Lavigne's parish.

Tom Brady has retired, which means he has some extra time to be a guest on the podcast...according to Michael's dreams. Lori and Michael talk about navigating the teenage years as parents.

Michael is excited about a great win by the PC Friars basketball team and not so excited about a potential blizzard. Lori and Michael talk about the importance of helping children grow good friendships, especially in light of the past couple of years. 

Lori and Michael started recording their weekly videos reflecting on the upcoming Sunday Gospel reading. Michael recognizes Lori as a "cribbage master" due to her constantly beating him at that game. This week's episode focuses on the dignity of human life and intercessory prayer.

After a delay in recording due to technical difficulties earlier in the week Lori and Michael offer a completely useless episode. Actually, they talk about the holidays, New Year's resolutions (or a lack of), and whether children should watch Cobra Kai. Happy New Year!

Michael and Lori talk about The Voice finale and Lori's upcoming 1st anniversary of her 40th birthday party. They finish their Advent reflection series.

Lori is happy with the outdoor Christmas lights and Michael is battling a mild cold (a severe man cold). They continue their weekly Advent series.

Woonsocket has made all of Lori's dreams come true. Michael and Lori reflect on the Gospel for the second week of Advent, though Michael struggles with one of the words.
