Weekend Blessings...

My youngest son made his reconciliation at church this weekend (his first confession). There were about 70 or so children, so they had 7 priests there to help out. It was a very touching moment and he was so brave and poised. And as I took the picture of the father blessing him...I was all choked up behind the camera. My sweet little angel is growing up. Without even asking...he leaned over and whispered when he returned to the pew...and said, "Mom...I had to tell him that I don't always obey my parents." - a gentle reminder that no matter how much we think our kids don't listen...they really do...Hope everyone is having a wonderful weekend!


All of the pictures I took of him were this dark...must have been where I was standing. Sorry.
