This weekend #2 son was confirmed. For our family, this is a very big deal. He has spent many hours learning about our/his faith and attempting to grow closer to God. We are richly blessed. Here's a little pic of the boy and his Godparents, Aunt Sue and Uncle Tim.
Indulge me in what I think is a funny story. Our congregation typically has a professional photographer take some pictures of the Confirmands after the service. So one at a time each of the kids comes up for their individual shot. #2 son steps up and the photographer (who by the way is nearly fossilized) turns around and says to everyone in the room, "who belongs to this one?" Of course I say, I do and she says, "he needs to comb his hair, or I can fix it afterwards, it's up to you." I laughed. Apparently the faux-hawk isn't very Lutheran and is not suitable for confirmation photos. Needless to say, I told her that is how he wears his hair and that's what we'd like to remember. Well, the family had some fun with him about that.
I also made a little something this past week. Just a quick banner to hang near the front door. I've seen so many other pretty ones, and I had a bit of KIMemories bits and pieces around from a project last year, so I decided to use up a little of the stash. I think it came out cute and I'm motivated to make another one for fall as soon as Halloween is finished.
I hope your weekend has been filled with good family things and pretty things that make your heart happy. Enjoy the week to come.
