Leo's First Communion

Well, this handsome 8 year old made his First Communion on May 5th. Preparing for this day has consumed ALL of our time. It was worth ALL the blood, sweat and tears. Grandma Lyd had a bucket list, and Leo's Communion was the last thing sge mentioned. It was soooooooooooo important to her - he was so important to her. The Firt Great Grandchild from the First Grandchild. We missed her terribly, but I felt her all day. She kept popping in. Our beloved Neighbor "Gramma Marge" brought over sweet and sour cabbage on a whim - and we know who sent it. Leo carried my Grandpa's rosary, which was the last thing we discussed before she died. She was there.
  My Leo looked so handsome. He had a part in the mass at the beginning and did such a great job. Jude an i got to sit together without the other 4 and just beem with pride. This was made possible by, my mom, Michelle, Julie, Jamie, Sam, Marge and my Dad. Oh the fun it looked like they had in the front row with the rest of the Hayden kids, Hannah and Jack. I owe them all HUGE!!!
   The party startd at 4 and the Fischbach Family didn't leave until close to midnight - my 90 year old Grandma included!!! What an awesome time. I didn't take pictures as i was laughing and having such a great time, it slipped my mind.

Thank you Lyd - you made the day as special as possible!!! You really watch out for these kids of mine!!!
