Reconciliation

So this past Saturday James and I had our first reconciliation during our retreat. I had no idea what to expect. All four Priests were there and we had our choice on who we wanted to see. I went to the Monsignour, it was absolutely amazing. He was such an easy person to talk to and helped me through it all. He told me there was no way I could remember everything and just tell him the things that bothered me. James went to Father Arcangel. He was told he had a "good confession." We are both very much looking forward to this Saturday when we do the final Sacraments, I have heard it is abolutely amazing!

After out retreat we had a surprise party for Aunt Jessica. She is turned 30 years old. The kids were so excited to tell her "surprise!" She says she was surprised. It was a great time for all.

Both kids have their Easter parties at school on Thursday, I will be jumping back and for to them both. Then they will be going to Nana and Poppy's on Saturday because James and I will be at church all day. They will meet us there for the Easter Vigil.

First Post

I have finally decided to start a blog. I feel like you can all see my pictures on Shutterfly but it does not let you all know what is going on in our lives. As the kids are getting older our lives are getting more hectic and I want you all to enjoy the craziness as much as us!!

James and I have been going through OCI (becoming Catholic) since August 2009 and on Easter Eve we will be Catholic. It has been an amazing journey for us both, we have learned so much. This Saturday we have our final retreat at the church, it is also when we do our first Confession.

Caitlin is loving dance, they do both ballet and tap. Her pictures were last week and her performance is in May. She also had her first soccer practice this past Saturday, her team did not win but she had so much fun. They play at Little River which is where she will be in Kindergarten next year. This Sunday I am signing her up for our neighborhood swim team. She has always been such a fish I figure it will be fun for her to swim with everyone else.

Braden is in a Sports Class at the gym. He will tell you he does not like it, he cries when I bring him, but once I leave he participates and the teacher says he is happy. This is the usual way for Braden though. At school, church, the gym, he cries and latches on to me, it looks really pitiful, but as soon as I leave he is fine and has fun.
