Special Events for the Littles

Oh my word -- we had such a busy 

day last Saturday!

The whole family!

It was Walt's First Communion and

Gloria's baptism!

Later that day, we attended my nephew's wedding reception!

Three holy sacraments in one day - that's a record!

Walter

We started the morning at Walt's First Communion.

So special and wonderful to see so many

2nd graders and their parents celebrating!

Harry and Dorothy - buddies forever!

Shortly after First Communion was finished,

Father Meysensburg (one of the priests/administrators from Pius X)

 conducted Gloria's baptism!

She slept through the entire event!

Good job Gloria!

Philip, Catherine, Gloria and Father Meysenburg

Philip and Catherine had a wonderful lunch

afterwards celebrating both big events!

Cookies -- YUM!

Stay tuned for the wedding reception details coming soon!

First Communion

As you may (or not) have noticed from my last post,

my Granddaughter, Jane, recently made her

First Communion.

It was such a special day and so beautiful!

We were so happy to be able to be there and share in

such a wonderful day and celebration!

She was quite lovely and has the sweetest spirit.

We love her so!

The whole adorable family!!

A Special Day!

Though our feelings come and go, God's love for us does not.

Sunday was Miss Maddy's First Communion. What a special day! She looked so beautiful and was so excited and a wee bit nervous about receiving the Eucharist for the very first time. I saw her with a good friend just before they had to line up and they were whispering encouragement to each other!

It was a really lovely day and so wonderful to celebrate such a momentous occasion on one of God's most beautiful spring days. All of a sudden, Sunday was the day the pear trees and magnolia trees bloomed -- so beautiful!

Of course, before we left for church, Mickey HAD to get in a picture with Maddy. That silly Mouse -- he waited in the car at church, but then joined us for dinner afterwards!
