Not Going To Be Around Much

[puppetmaker]

I will post my New Who Review for Monday and my Tuesday Crafty Post and probably something for Mother’s Day so that’s the next three days but not much else.

In one week Caroline will be celebrating her first communion. She has been working very hard the past two years on getting ready for this.

Yesterday we got her dress, shoes and other things she is going to need for next week.


Caroline in her first communion dress
(For the VI readers: She is wearing an ivory colored dress with a short sleeved jacket. There is beading along the seams and the bottom of the dress. She is wearing a white veil on a hairband with white silk flowers.)

She loves her dress as do I.

The rest of the week is getting ready for company which is why the internet and I will be parting ways for the most part.

Usual ways to get in touch with me will work but maybe a touch slower.

I am grateful we agreed on a dress.

She looks beautiful! My brother is celebrating his first communion this afternoon. He's wearing a tux which is two sizes too big and lovingly hemmed by grandma. :)

Whoa, she's going to be tall. (The Almighty Tallest? No, she wouldn't be a jerk like they kind of are...)

P.S. This prompted me to finally look up info on First Communion -- really, I've somehow gone 37 without knowing much about the Catholic Church -- so I'm learning more now. Another win.

Have a good week! The Internet will be here when you get back.

To Caroline and her wonderful family, (darn, got cut off)

May The Lord bless you and keep you.
May the Lord make his face to shine upon you, and be gracious to you.
May the Lord lift up his countenance upon you, and give you peace.

Many blessings on this wonderful achievement! She looks beautiful, like a bride!

I did not know it takes two years, that's a lot of work and she should be very proud!

Lovely!! I remember my boys' First Communions fondly but they weren't without some fuss. Ryan took it into his head to cut off his bangs before I could take him for a haircut so he had a buzz cut for his pictures instead. Still cute, but.... major kill boy moment at the time.

She looks beautiful and so grownup... what a special and sacred time for her, and for you as parents. Blessings to you all!

Such a beautiful dress! The jacket is the perfect balance to that lovely skirt detail. But the best part is that you both love it. :)
