Pipe Organ

We have a new pipe organ! It is from UOP and Jason even used it when he studied organ there years ago. For Jason's birthday we had a "Pizza and Pipes" party. A few days later Father Peter and the St. Patrick's organist, Madeline, came to see it.

Vincent's First Holy Communion

Mother's Day, May 8, was the day of Vincent's First Holy Communion. It was such a special day. My guy was so handsome and happy. Thank you Lord for this precious son and sacrament!

It was an extra special occasion because our dear friend, Gabriella, also received her first Holy Communion. She was so beautiful and sweet!

These two have known each other since she was 1 and he was 2.

Here she is with her little sister, Lucia, my God-Daughter!

And their mommy and littlest sister Marianna!

On the way to the special 3pm Mass, we saw Zachary getting dressed to serve as an altar server.

Francesca and Lucia - God-sisters - on their way to the church.

I didn't actually see him receive Jesus (the church was packed!), but here is a photo of him shortly after.

And outside posing for a group photo.

We had a combined party at Gabriella's house.

Easter Sunday Celebration

Our celebration truly begins with Christ's resurrection every Sunday... Every DAY for that matter! Amen!
The boys know the Easter bunny doesn't exist, but its still fun to pretend. We don't make a big deal out of the big bunny anyways.

Here's Veronica with her first Easter basket.

The basket is the best part...

Vincent happy with his night vision goggles!

Zack all ready for Mass.

My little diva on her bed munching on chocolate for breakfast.

Veronica dolled up for church!

Here are the kids after Mass at St. Patrick's.

Its really hard to get all four of them looking towards the camera with a happy face!

My handsome boys!

Veronica and Mommy.

We had Easter lunch at our house.

Jason's idea... Easter egg wine bottle stopper for a chicken-labeled bottle.

Veronica with her Grandpa/God Father.

Francesca playing with an Easter toy from her

basket from Grandma and Grandpa.

Uncle Ray and Jason, wine glasses in hand.

Fresca and Gramma!

The egg hunt begins!

Maya, her mom and my cousin Jeff were here as well.

A good one of Linda Paz and Veronica.

Francesca scored lots of candy... trouble is brewing.
