Happy St. Cecelia Day

While it may be a coincidence that Thanksgiving this year happens to fall on St. Cecelia's Feast Day, I like to think of it as written in the stars. This day last year, after all, was the day we announced to our families that we were expecting, long before we knew we were having a girl and even longer before we'd choose the name Cecelia.
So it only seems right that today as we give thanks we also celebrate this spirited woman, the patron saint of music, the young girl who is believed to have once whispered, "I will tell you a secret if you will swear not to reveal it to anyone: there is an angel who watches over me."
