Because of the difficulty we have getting to church regularly (because of M), we decided a home Mass would be best and she could make her First Communion then. We invited family and a few close friends (and filled the house!) It was a lovely, crazy day...
Here's R before everyone arrived...
... she took my breath away.
And this was taken during Mass. We pretty well filled the living room to overflowing!
We used every chair we had, but it wasn't quite enough...
R and Father after Mass. He was so very good with her, he was careful to explain things in a way she could understand, and took the time (during their visits here over the past month or so) to let her read to him. I found her reading a cookbook to him today... (it takes a lot of patience to listen to a child reading a cookbook!)
And where did I find her, after Mass... when everyone was looking for her to open the gifts they'd brought?
Outside, in her mud boots, with Grant and the goats!
