Our eighth grader received the Sacrament of Confirmation! \u00a0Yeah, I know. \u00a0It was almost a month ago. \u00a0No sooner did he go through, then a series of incidents began occurring that made getting back to the old blog difficult. \u00a0In fact, at times, it just didn\u2019t seem to be something to set time aside for given the gravity of other events (see previous post on prayer requests). \u00a0Hopefully and prayerfully, things are settling for now. \u00a0Calm enough to go back and get some important pictures of that wonderful day posted. \u00a0Now, if you\u2019ll be patient with my shameless gloating, is our eighth grader on a very important step in his pilgrimage, as well as the family in all their goofy, fun and wonderful glory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
