Andrew received the Sacrament of Reconciliation for the first time on the evening of February 27, 2013. He was very excited! So excited that he decided to make a list of his sins to bring into the confessional just so he wouldn't forget any. ;)
"I only came up with fifteen, Mom. There's probably more but I can't remember them now. Do you think that's enough?"
Pictured above with Fr. J, but he actually went to Fr. S. There was a short service to begin but then a lot of waiting your turn. He went about halfway through the line up of almost 60 kids! Afterwards they each went up to light a candle with their name on it, which they were able to bring home. They also received a nice lapel pin with a lamb that says "Love & Forgiveness" on it.
The girls were amazingly quiet & patient! We usually don't bring anything along with us to Church, so they were pretty pumped to have a pile of religious books to browse. Teresa looked at the Catholic Children's Bible for almost 25 minutes! Rebecca kept wanting a turn & finally Teresa just looked at her & said, "Patient!!!"
It was about 8:00 when we were done, but we still had to celebrate. So, we drove through Wendy's for some Frosties. We gave him a card with a crucifix pin that he can wear for his 1st Communion in a few weeks. Very happy time indeed!
Congratulations, Bubba! You're getting so big!
Loving the glimpse of your baby belly! Too cute!
