Happy October and The Pea's First Blessing...

We went to church today - the first time since we learned our little pea was with us. It's possible that the pea was with us on other church outings, but this was his/her introduction day and the first day she/he received a little blessing. Oh how it warmed my little heart!

We announced our "news" during the thanksgiving portion of the ceremony. I let Mark do the talking. Everyone was, of course, thrilled to hear (we even were applauded!). Then during communion, I went up for my typical blessing (since I'm allergic to wheat, communion bread or wafers are kind of off limits) and the priest made sure to extend the little blessing to the pea...very sweet and very worth remembering (hence, it's in the record now!).

Other than that, today is a rather nondescript day so far....the day is young!
