Included in this bunch are pics of C on his first backpacking trip with the Boy Scouts and his Dad, E’s class fieldtrip to the San Juan Capistrano mission (John was a parent chaperone on the trip so these lovely pictures are his handiwork), and C’s 6th grade promotion ceremony earlier this morning.
Enjoy :)
There are few things more lovely than Catholic altars…what a beautiful picture!

I agree with you! One of my biggest disappointments when I visited an old Catholic cathedral in Shanghai last fall was that they didn’t allow burning candles–they had little flashlight-type candles. It’s so not the same thing! (a note of irony–the cathedrals in China are forbidden from burning candles because they cause too much ‘air pollution’ but at the Buddhist temples, worshippers are allowed to light whole bundles of incense–dozens of sticks thick–to burn in the censers outside. Though I love both incense and candles, I was annoyed at the seemingly anti-catholic prejudice.
