Lemonade stand (for tornado victims)

Letter from Claire's Mom: "For several weeks now, Claire and Grace have been begging to do a lemonade stand to "raise money for the poor." Claire and Grace have decided that the money they raise would best be used to benefit the victims of the recent tornadoes in St. Louis." Claire and Grace raised $190!

First Holy Communion (1 May 2011)

Grace had the biggest first date of her life! Just before Grace received First Holy Communion, I asked her, "Are you ready?" She had a nervous look and said, "yes." I then said, "Jesus has been waiting for you"...she smiled really big! Blessed John Paul II (beatified same day), please join us in praying for Grace's faith journey. P.S. Afterwards Grace told me that she thought the Eucharist would taste like garlic bread.
