More photos...from today

There was a professional photographer that came to the church today at 2:00pm for the PREP students that are taking their first communion tonight. So I asked the PREP coordinator and he said that it would be fine if Izabelle came to take individual photos this afternoon. So since Izabelle was all dressed up again..I took her to the garden again..and I also took her to the confession/reconciliation room to take more pictures. We will have to wait 6 weeks before we see the ones taken today by the photographer..I will share them then.

33 weeks

I was so exhausted by the end of the evening..but seeing my baby girl taking eucharist for the first time was so worth it! Rich made it just in time..bless his heart..business is so slow..but he still has to put in so many hours.


My mother and her husband and Izabelle.


Yaya and Izabelle. Yaya made Izabelle's veil, altered the dress and curled and fixed Izabelle's hair. Thanks again!

Izabelle and Ms. Kimberly (her sponsor).

Izabelle had just received the eucharist in her hands. Helen was the eucharistic minister that gave it..she is such a sweet lady. I just love her!

Izabelle waiting for the eucharist..she spotted me with the camera. She is so excited..can you tell?

Easter Sunday..after 11:00am Mass in the prayer garden.

The tomb is empty....Alleluia!

Whew! I'll bet you have been wondering where I have been. I am doing well..most of you see me on FaceBook. I am 33 weeks this week! I will share a belly shot later that was taken at Izabelle's First Communion last night. What a beautiful ceremony! I am so proud of her:) She is wearing the tiara that I wore at my wedding in 2003. I promise to share more pictures later..but I need to get in the shower..Mass is at 11:00am and everyone is still asleep and Easter baskets have yet to be opened.

Happy Easter!
