On Sunday, May 6, 2012 Cael received his First Communion. It was a terrific day. I also teach the class so this was a big year. We were all a little nervous but had practiced. The kids did a great job and everything turned out great. The church was standing room only. Cael was so excited to see his family there. He commented about how he couldn't believe that all these people (meaning our family and friends) were here for his First Communion. After mass everyone came back to our house to enjoy a meal. We had pork loin, turkey, mashed potatoes, baked beans, corn, pasta salad, chips, dinner rolls, oreo dessert, a ding-dong cake, pound cake or angel food cake with fruit and whipped cream. Quite a meal. Thank you to everyone who was able to make it. Words can't describe what it means to Mike and I for everyone to be there and enjoy each other and to support Cael in this big occasion. I know that the kids had a great time. After everyone left and we had cleaned up, I went to my room to chill while Mike, Nate and Payton went to do chores. I had a huge headache and was so tired by then. Cael came and to check on me and snuggled up with me. It was amazing that he leaned over gave me a great big hug and said "Thank you. Can you believe all the people who came to our house for my First Communion. Wow! I can't believe it. Thanks, Mom". We then enjoy some quiet time while watching a movie. It truly was a blessed day.

The meal was great. I am glad the Cs and I could make it over and I know Travis wishes he could have made it as well. It was a wonderful day!
ReplyDeleteThis will be a special memory for Cael.
ReplyDeleteI am so thrilled for you all to have your house now for all of you to enjoy with the kids.
I remember when we left our old,old and house and moved into the new one. The room for us to spread out and place were you could be alone if you wish.
You have such a nice family. Pat Holtapp
