Harry's 1st Holy Communion

Tuesday, May 12, 2009
I am so far behind in blogging and so far behind in everything. I have not been able to catch up with anyone. If you can believe it, Miss Kate Emerson is really sick again (I feel like this is all I ever write/say).  She has fever, pink eye, chills, and cough.  We have been to the doctor (twice) and she was swabbed for flu but it is either a relapse of the mono or a virus.  When Kate is sick she is extremely high maintenance and simply wants me to hold her all day.  She is down for a quick nap (she does nap when ill) so I am going to play a little catch-up....
Saturday was Harry's First Holy Communion.  It was beautiful.  He was so reverent and so excited.  The night before, he asked me to pray the rosary with him.  So sweet.

His good buddy, Bennett.

We bought him an olive wood cross from Jerusalem.

And a silver cross  (which he loves). Aunt Waukita and Uncle Joe gave him the silver cross ring.

This is when Kate started getting sick...but she look adorable anyway;)

Harry chose our favorite Mexican breakfast spot to eat after the service. Uncle Joe is being his usual fun self and sticking his finger in Harry's ear for this shot:)

We also had a FABULOUS Mother's Day and we celebrated Harry's 1st Communion then  too at brunch at the Four Seasons (blog post to come).

P.S.  I am so excited....my friend, Diana is coming to visit this weekend.  We are going to have so much fun!!!!

    Oh my goodness, Kim... the photos are amazing!!! I especially love the one of Mr. Harry with the olive wood cross- beautiful! And he is SO handsome in his suit- oh I just want to hug him! Both boys are just so adorable! And you look beautiful too! And little Kate with her handbag- I love it! I'm so glad you took a few moments to post these- you definitely captured Harry's special day well! Let me know when you post pics from Mother's Day- I can't wait!!! Glad Kate is napping- hope you are both feeling better! ((Hugs)) :)

    Beautiful family!! I just love your photography skills!!! Hope Ms Kate is feeling better! I noticed her "her cheeks" and the "freckled-like rash"! My little one suffered the same symptoms as Kate and it was discovered she had DOUBLE ear infections coupled w/seasonal allergies! We were given three Rx's including some for the rash (which was really bad, it looked like a sunburn) and overnite the rash was cleared up. The sticky like eyes/fever has also vanished!! I still don't know why her face broke out the way it did, but luckily no scarring was left.

    Hope Kate has a speedy recovery!

    Oh Kim. On Saturday 9 ..It was my third son First Comunion as well¡¡ It took place at school (catholic school)and then we did a very big fiesta with our family, friends and boys and girls...( more than 60 people). It was fantastic...

    I would like to share with you some of my photos but unfortunately I don't have a family Blog.

    I pray for Kate.

    Lots of love,

    I have been waiting for this post!! It just brings back so many memories of barrington at that age. That class pic..I have the exact same one, I swear!. LOVE your dress Kim. So cute.

    Gorgeous shots too. Nothing like being a talented photographer when capturing such important family memories. Bailey was dedicated this Sunday but I was not thrilled with the shots. (I had such a hard time letting the christening go and doing what our new church does) Anyway, so sorry about Kate. I hope the summer air works its magic soon! I will say a prayer for her little self. So pretty in her Azalea dress!! Can't wait to see Mother's Day post. I am thinking about you.
