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!

Halloween Update

Just a tad bit late on the Halloween update, but here goes!

Maddy had planned to be a unicorn for Halloween,

but her costume was not quite warm enough as we got hit

with a bit of a cold spell.

Plan B -- wear a Cheer Bear onesie!  

It was perfect and she said she 

was warm and toasty!

We went to Boo at the Zoo - a 

tradition we just can't give up yet!

  

Oh my word -- we had a million trick-or-treaters

on our block.  My neighbor counted (who does that?)

and said she stopped counting after 600!!!!

Seriously, the sidewalks were full of kids and parents!

The need for candy is great!! 

The need for cute decorated cookies is also great!

This was the first year ever that I bought candy that I do not 

like for trick or treaters so I wouldn't eat it.

Nerds -- who eats those things??? Ugh.

Of course, I am wishing that I had some good 

chocolate

candy bars!  

Have a great weekend friends!

Enjoy that extra hour of sleep!
