Fiver's First

Our family celebrated with Fiver this weekend as he received the Body and Blood of Our Lord for the first time.


Even with all the scurrying of party prep and getting all the kids to church on time, it was a really beautiful day. About as perfect as a day can get this side of heaven.  

And I love that Fiver now numbers his reception of the holy Eucharist.   Today at Mass, he said "now I've had my second holy communion."

I pray you have hundreds and hundreds, my boy.

  4. What a wonderful day! He is such a handsome little man! I have a thing for kids with glasses...so endearing!

    Did you cry? My neice had hers, and I couldn't stop crying. Next week's is our oldest's 1st Communion, and I'm sure to be a basketcase. I can't even blame the pregnancy hormones...I would be like that no matter my state :)
