Holy day

Today was Child 1's First Communion and Confirmation. Combined.



It was a big day.

Here are some of us skipping lightly and serenely to Mass.



At Mass, Child 1 became one with the Son of God, and then the Holy Spirit came down on her and she became a 'Soldier of Christ'. It was very touching and she seemed like such a big girl!

When she got home, we had a nice lunch and a lovely cake.



Then, Child 3 lined up some screwdrivers - I'm not sure if they were from smallest to largest, or bluntest to sharpest.



And then, blessed Child 1, in no particular order, threw a rock at her grandfather's car, went to stab Child 2 with a metal stake, and hit Child 3 with a large stick.

Amen.
