Friday we did a home economics lesson first thing in the morning by making pancakes. The girls really enjoyed it and it was determined that we'll be doing this once a week until they know how to make them on their own.
Sunday was Peanut's first communion! Mass was at 8:30 in the morning and the whole family showed up to be with her on her special day. Then Auntie left with her family and we went out to breakfast with Grandma and Papa to celebrate! Here's some adorable pictures of Peanut in her pretty dress...
Monday in the middle of the night, 1:30 AM to be exact, we got a phone call that a family member unexpectedly passed away and we were devastated. Lessons were called off for the week, Daddy's boss gave him the entire week off to be with the campers and I, and we spent a lot of time distracting the campers at parks this week. Honestly there's not much to write about this week because I have been so emotionally drained and exhausted. I've felt lost except while during prayer.

Linking up this week for the Weekly Wrap Up and Homeschool Highlights.
The highs (Communion) stand out in sharp relief when the lows (loss) happen. Praying for peace as your family moves forward. ((HUGS))
ReplyDeleteThank you! I truly appreciate the prayers!
Deleteso sorry for your loss, grateful you had parks to spend at. :)
ReplyDeleteSo am I ... I do not know how I would have distracted the children and myself if there weren't so many parks we could spend time at.
DeleteHappy first communion! So sorry for your loss.
ReplyDeleteThank you on both counts. :-)
DeleteOh, I pray you will feel comforted! And your Peanut at her communion is so very sweet. :)
