First Communion

Wow...so much has been happening these past two weeks....birthdays, parents visiting, a brother visiting, and a First Communion, that I need to do some serious catching up!! I'll start with Amelia's First Communion. It took place April 25th, and my parents were able to fly out from Ontario to be here, just like they were for Natalie and Ben. Amelia's god mother, who lives on Vancouver Island was also here to help celebrate her special day. She read a reading during mass, we thought she would be nervous, but she said it was just like talking, and that was easy!It turned out to be a wonderful sunny day.
The dress she wore was also worn by Natalie, and was made by my mom , who did the smocking on it too. This dress will now be carefully washed and stored with all the other smocked dresses.
I'll spend the rest of this week catching up on my posts.....have a great week!
