This evening was practice for First Communion. It was a little rough at first, but after a couple of tries, the kids got it down. The seven of them will process into the church and place flowers in a vase by the statue of Mary. Then they will enter the pews and sit in their designated location.  Three of the children will present the gifts, and to make it fair, names were drawn out of a hat for this. Seth was not one of them, and while he would have loved to take up the gifts, he didn't seem overly disappointed (even though I was). He will be the second child to receive Communion. After Mass they will process out of the church and return for pictures with Father Orr and others. This is such a milestone and we are all so excited for him. 

In a moment of brilliance, it occurred to me that we could rent Seth's suit for First Communion, and that's exactly what we did. We had stopped in at Men's Warehouse in April, we made our selections, and they took his measurements. Today they called and said his suit had arrived in-store and that we could stop in for his final fitting. He looks so adorably handsome.
