Today is Mother's Day and the day our church scheduled for confirmation. Tommy completed a two year confirmation program and is now officially an Episcopalian. The poor timing however, meant that all our special people, grandparents, aunts, & our local cousin, had to come to our church for the confirmation mass... on Mother's Day. Then, the four of us went to another brunch program after the service for the confirmed kids. That meant we did not get to celebrate Mother's Day with the aforementioned special people on this special day. Not sure why the church does it that way, but it is what it is.

I don't know if you can open this or hear the video, but each student got up and read a paper they had prepared. All the papers were the same questions to each student about their thoughts on confirmation, the church, and themselves. In case it doesn't work, the one thing that stood out for me in Tommy's speech was that he is happiest when he is playing golf.
Another special event happened this weekend. Emmie was also confirmed in the Catholic church. We went to her Confirmation & First Communion on Friday. So we did get to see the special people some this weekend. Here's Emmie with some of her girlies after her Friday celebration.
Now you see why it was a "holy" Mother's Day.
