He ate at the table of the Lord

Getting ready to take a bite!

Why do my kids look so stiff? Hey their dad looks a little uncomfortable too?




Last night was the BIG night for Will. It was a big day really. We had lunch at his favorite restaurant in Ames and Grandpa even bought them commemorative t-shirts so that we will always remember Hickory Park. We all chilled a bit in the afternoon then pulled ourselves together in time to get to church early and prepare for First Holy Communion. Will did a great job helping set the table of the Lord and commented that the wine wasn't so bad just a little spicy.
We were blessed to have the largest turn-out at the meal after church. Granny and Grandpa, Joan and Mike, Andy, Sara and Samuel and of course the highlighted guest of the week Mamma! No one won a prize for driving the furthest but they did acquire a tasty lunch for the trip home tomorrow from the church ladies. The whole crowd was introduced to Oreo Fluff and we all had a great evening. Can't wait to hear how the Main Event in Indy went down last night!
Back to real life today. The house looks like we had a party! I must pull it together and quickly. We are headed to Dallas tomorrow for the Great House Hunt of 2008. Nothing like feeling the pressure to buy a house by next Friday. I need to pack and wash and switch sheets in preparation of our house sitters' stay. I need to make some cards for special events I will be missing this week and straighten straighten straighten. It'll get done while Fred returns his mother to his sister in IL. We'll all keep busy and out of trouble I'm sure. Better run and get going on my day!

Thank you Mrs. Goodman! She was Will's Faith Formation teacher this year.

The main event was good if you talking about the kid watching, they are alive, well they were when i put them to sleep and we had a super dinner of Chicken nuggets, fries and Peas. Landry was more interest in the Peas and his diaper showed that later:) Sorry i missed it but someone had up hold down Indy and Jen and I were chosen!

Looks like we were celebrating similar events this weekend. Your son's first communion and my daughter's confirmation. In the M.S. Lutheran church, confirmation is also first communion. Having a hard time finding scraping materials, most of it is for younger kids and first communion
