Special day for Tia!

Today, Tia made her First Reconciliation. It was such a special day. They had a very nice service for it and she was so excited for the experience of it all. I took her to the priest and introduced her and then I stepped away. She came back with a big smile and was so happy. Afterwards, Mom and Dad took her to lunch and to Hastings to read and shop a bit. She loves it there! Mike and I came home because we had gotten a sitter to stay with Rosie. There's no way she would've made it through the 2 hours, plus it was her nap time. I have to say it was nice to not be distracted and be able to really share in the special-ness of the day for Tia. Mom said she was so sweet when they were at lunch, she told the lady taking their order that she was so happy because she had just made her First Reconciliation. Then she told Mom later that she was just full of joy because she no longer had all of her sins. Sweet thing. It really meant a lot to her. All day and night she kept saying how good she felt and how happy she was. We are so proud of her. She definitely pushes me to my limit at times (which was my confession!) but when she's good, she's just a little dear. God bless her sweet soul. We couldn't have been given a greater gift!
