And now the rest of March. :) I am going to try to keep this blog up monthly. The children love it so much, and so do I.
Palm Sunday has always been one of my favorite Sundays of year, even before I was Catholic. I just love the entrance of Holy Week. This year it was exceptionally beautiful.
Our new Bishop has brought a Polish tradition where he knocks on the door of the church with his staff three times saying "Lift up your heads, o ye gates; and be ye lift up, ye everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in."
Monday of Holy Week, Marc was made a knight of Fraternus. It's like the "Eagle Scout" of Fraternus. The boys have to participate for years, go to summer ranch, and excursions. The year they want to become a knight they have special prayers and fasting they complete. The knighting ceremony begins outside the church where the mother gives her son over in the idea that he is growing up and ready to take his place among the men.
The knights-
One of Julia's favorite things this year has been joining drama. She is one of the Lumina Players at our cover school, and she absolutely LOVES it! They are putting on a play next weekend that is a 40s radio show. Julia will be playing the piano all throughout the show as the interlude music, and she has several speaking parts as well. We are excited to watch!
The group gest professional photos every year-
I took a few pics of them rehearsing-
Before our big trip to the Grand Canyon in April, we made a big push the get the house all clean and flowers planted. I enjoy it all so much.
A special birthday for my dear friend.
