Up early. Why????

My coffee is brewing and let me just tell you that night of the living dead Patti needs it. I had to drive Kiki to school today because she had two pans of brownies for orchestra, her violin and backpack. Orchestra just has to be at 7am! Coffee still isn't done. No I'm not impatient.

Last night Kiki went to her dance classes and she was one of 3 children there! The students who attended the infected Jr. High stayed home. Imagine that? I have renewed faith in society. Parents who follow rules and have common sense. It was nice that she got some individualized instruction. Apparently, the instructor for dance is smart too. She began each class asking if any of the students went to the infected school. If they did, she was going to suggest that she call the parents and they be given an opportunity to go home instead of participating to follow the directions of the department of health. Instructor told me, when I picked Kiki up, that apparently the director of dance, who I spoke to, decided that it was a very good idea to ask the students to follow the suggestion of the department of public health. I was floored that they listened.

Coffee ready. Ah! Okay, got some of that into my bones!

I got my act together and have some pictures of Blake's First Communion from last Sunday! He's so handsome and was the only one wearing a beige tweed suit. Every other boy had navy or black. I thought Blake looked handsome! Okay, the most handsome but I'm his Mom and I'm allowed to say that. :)

On the way to the church, Vi was her usual, 3-year old self. She had a fit about something, scratched Blake's cheek with her fingernail and covered her eyes the rest of the trip to the church.

Here's the cross at the front of the church. Love that carving.

Here are Vi, Blake, and Kiki outside before Communion. We were early since I lied to Warren about the time we had to be there. LOL

Now this is not a sign from St. Stephen that all is right with the world but rather glare on my camera lens despite my UV filter and hood. I had to laugh when reviewing my photos from that day because it almost looks like St. Stephen is glowing!

Here is Blake with my sister who is Blake's Godmother!




Here is Blake with all of us outside the church.

The next two pictures are from inside the church. No pictures or video are allowed during Mass but we were allowed to take pictures of the children entering the church and they gave us an opportunity at the end to take pictures of the group. I told Blake that I thought his marching partner was lovely. Blake said, "yes, I got to march with the prettiest girl in my class and she is nice too." LOL

Last, a picture of just Blake on his special day.

Well that is all for this morning. Just wanted to share our photos and our special day.
