We had a lovely evening mass during which Paul received his first Holy Communion. Afterwards, we returned to our house for dinner, gifts, cake, and fun. We are so grateful that Paul could celebrate this special day with his godparents, Uncle John and Aunt Kathleen. May God continue to bless Paul!

Crowned
Kate arrived in the kitchen just now wearing this crown. I have never seen it and have no idea where it came from, but it marks the day well: The last day of school before break (e.g. lots of parties and candy canes) AND jeans day!! (but no holes, wears, tears, rips, stains, penmarks, bleach marks, grass stains, jeggings, loose jean, jeans with chains, jeans with beltloops missing, tight jeans, or white jeans...otherwise your child will promptly receive a pink slip, be sent to Mr. Carpine and parents will be called in a nanosecond to bring you a pair of uniform pants). Merry Christmas!

Big day for Paul
Paul made his first Reconciliation yesterday! we celebrated our grace-filled selves w giant ice cream cones. We drove for about two minutes before teasing and fighting ensued, at which point I considered making a u-turn back to the church, but thats pretty much par for the course...
Paul is excited to receive his first Communion on 12/28 while godparents John and Kathleen are visiting.

More Painting
We started on a new room today, the "carpeted room" as Paul calls it, where the piano is located. We will do the dining room this color also. Kate and I were wishing we could dip some strawberries and bananas in the paint, which looks exactly like fondue chocolate (my favorite!). Alas, here is my project for the week...

Going for a ride
Tyche is tagging along to Paul's flag game today. Paul's team is playing an undefeated team so we are hoping they will act like ASU, Arizona, and Ole Miss and pull an upset.

RMNP
We went to the national park Sat a.m. to see the fall colors. Sorry Beth, Lila and BJC...we saw a lot of wildlife this time including herds of elk grazing and five mountain goats on the way down the canyon. We also did some hiking.
