I just want to add that yes, Marc and Tucker have coats and ties, but they altar serve and have to wear black pants- that's why they are always dressed this way on Sundays-
Charlie with his Godparents-
We had a little reception at the church and then we went out to lunch-
Charlie opened his presents from us and BB and Poppy-
We sat at the same table we sat at two years ago for Tucker's First Holy Communion-
Tonight we had a small cookout to celebrate Charlie and Mary Claire-
Brave Daddies cooking Conecuh sausagues and hot dogs in the rain-
The kids all played hard and then towards the end C and MC opened their presents. Father blessed their new religious objects.
And when I mentioned to Father that our house had not been blessed by a priest since May 2010, he happily obliged and blessed it again. He reminded us that it is traditional for priests to bless homes in Easter season (which we are in until Pentecost).
He prayed (in Latin)- these words:
Bless, Lord God Almighty, this house that it may contain health, chastity, conquest of self, virtue, humility, goodness and gentleness, full obedience to law, and thanksgiving to God the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit.
And may this blessing remain upon this house and upon all who are within it now and forever. Amen.
And God bless you, sweet Charles Augustine, that you may grow closer to Him day by day. We love you, sweet boy!!
And now- your siblings on their first communions-
