Mary Kate took part in the All City Orchestra Concert. Certain children from the different middle schools in the district are asked to be a part of this event. Two days this week I drove Mary to one of the area middle schools early in the morning. She spent about 4 hours there practicing with her school and 3 other middle school orchestras. By the end of the second day, the entire group had practiced 15 songs. They put on a wonderful concert Wednesday night. It is amazing to see. They sounded great.
Thursday night Tommy had his First Reconciliation.
He was so mad at me for making him wear a suit jacket. His arguing me was beneficial because up until that point he had "nothing to confess."
We were crunched for time so I made him eat dinner like this.

Nice job Tom. We are so proud of you.
Hi Kathleen,
ReplyDeleteLol...my 9-year-old daughter pulls that "nothing to confess" thing all the time :)
I saw your "spam" comment over at Sue's site and cracked up! Of course spam counts! A comment is a comment, right?
Hi Kathleen...wow! 2 very special events in your home...you must be so proud! Enjoy these special times, friend! : )
ReplyDeleteYou got a much better picture of the girls. I can never see Riley since she's so small. Thanks again for driving the girls. Not just this past week, but every week.
ReplyDeleteCongrats to both MK & Tom! I am thrilled that MK is continuing her musical pursuits with great success. I am sad that we are not there because my Ellie & Tommy would have made their 1st Holy Communion on the same day. Btw... Ellie was a mess over her confession - she was so scared that she cried before. Thankfully the priests was wonderful with her!
ReplyDeleteWhat an exciting week! I would like to hear MK play sometime.
ReplyDeleteCongrats Tommy & Mary Kate. I'm very proud of you both. MK, can't wait to hear you at Carnegie Hall. Tommy, guys always look better with a suit jacket on. You looked very handsome!!
ReplyDeleteLove,
Uncle Bob
I am totally cracking up about your son fighting with you being the thing he could confess! That is too cute! Oh, I remember my first Reconciliation and being sooooo nervous! Fortunately, back then it was all behind a window so the priest couldn't see you. I always tried to avoid face to face!
ReplyDeleteYour daughter is awesome!!! What a great thing to be a part of!
