Stuff, and then Elliott's sacraments

Spencer and I doing a bit of skin care on Sunday, April 18th.

Kevin that day.


I saw this space ship/canoe/bike on my way driving home on Monday the 19th.  It was so weird!

Spencer got his plastic retainers and a haircut on Tuesday the 20th.


Cuddles on Wednesday the 21st.
Michael and I took Kevin for a walk that evening (Wednesday).  Kevin stopped to sniff this tree and FIVE cats hissed at him and then came tumbling out.  

I took these pictures on Friday the 23rd.  He was still a little cautious about this devil tree.

Elliott made his first holy communion and was confirmed on Saturday the 24th.  It was our first time going to church in over a year.  All of his classes have been virtual for over a year. 

Inside church

My uncle was his sponsor. 
We had my mom and dad and uncle over for brunch after mass. 

I had saved all of these party decorations from Spencer's party three years ago. 

I didn't want to move all of my work stuff off the dining room table, and I was serving from the kitchen table, so I set up extra tables in the living room. 







The green glass candle holder was a gift from my sponsor when I did my confirmation. 

All the official pictures







Then it was time for presents!

A globe from my parents.  Elliott is recently obsessed with countries and the globe. 

An astronaut snowglobe from us.  We also got him the cross tie pin he's wearing in all of these pictures. 

A crystal cross from the Czech Republic from us. 

A money box from Michael's parents. 


A copper and turquoise cross from Jerry and Lois. 

Kevin and Spencer were enthralled. 



A NASA approved telescope from my uncle.  Anyone want to come over for some star gazing?
That afternoon, after my family left, we met Josh, Laura, Sara and Sam at the hotel/casino in Maricopa.  Laura and I went to the wine bar while everyone else bowled and did the arcade.  Then the dads gambled and the moms took the kids to the pool/hot tub.

And this is all I have to show for it!
