Well, we survived yet another year of catechism in preperation for First Communion (Scott received last year). I am happy to report it went off without a hitch. Kate had to be proded a bit when she was interviewed by Father, as she is my most shy child and just becomes plain silly when she gets nervous. But he passed her with flying colors.
And, as she was the only girl in the class to receive on Sunday, she had the honor of crowing the May Queen. She was so excited to wear her very elaborate dress and veil, until she found out how difficult it was to keep the veil pinned in! By the end she couldn't wait to take off the veil, and exclaimed "FINALLY!" to the entire congregations' amusement.
She is now trying to complete a novena of Masses, which is wonderful, but that it requires me to take all four of the kids to daily Mass. Okay, really, Matthew is the only problem...but a big problem he is! He understands being quiet, but he thinks he is sooooo funny and can't help but laugh out loud constantly (definitely gets that from Greg who always laughs the loudest at his own jokes, if he can get through them).
She very tenderly told Greg that she made it her special intention for her First Communion that my cancer would go away forever. Certainly a powerful prayer from a seven year old. =)
