Easter Weekend





This is long overdue ! I went out to Seattle over for a special Easter Weekend as 5 of my nieces and nephews were baptized, had first communion and had confirmation all in a single Mass called a "Triduum Mass" on the Saturday before Easter. It was a beautifully conducted Mass by the presiding priest. One concern that we had was the length of the Mass (approximately 2 hours) and whether any of the kids would have a meltdown. Never happened. All of them were behaved incredibly well and made all of us proud. My wife and I are on record as Andrei's godparents although only one of us had to be present. As this was the weekend before we closed on our new house, she stayed behind to take care of things and in case anything house related required immediate attention. I had a great time hanging out with Andrei over the weekend and he made me awful proud to be his uncle. It goes, without saying, that I'm awful proud of EVERY one of them !

On a final note, Happy Birthday to my niece, Elizabeth !!
