Confirmation Weekend



The photo above is of Maddie being confirmed by Bishop Louverde of Arlington. Needless to say, the lighting was terrible and that is the clearest shot I got of the event. Would have used a flash, but I was living in fear of the lady who coordinates the youth education program. Gives me a bit of chill just thinking about her. ANYWAY....



It was a lovely celebration and the Bishop gave a really good sermon. The mass lasted 2.5 hours. Afterward, we came back to the house and had a nice lunch. Suzanne was Maddie's sponsor and is also her Godmother. Sue and Liam took the train down from Philadelphia on Friday morning. Aunt Kim, Cousin Kate and PopPop met us at the church and Uncle Chalie and Cousin Jack arrived a bit later. We had a nice time.

Later on in the afternoon, James and my Dad, Liam, Maddie and Monica went to the Nationals game at their new stadium in DC. Suzanne and I stayed home with Josie. A nice quiet evening.







As I was downloading the photographs from Confirmation, I found a few taken on Thursday while Janina was getting packed up... This is what happens when the kids get a hold of your camera and there's a dog around...
