house blessing

This weekend was very special because Fr. Jerome blessed our new home.  Our families and some dear friends joined us for this memorable occasion.

We are so grateful to God for our house, and we want Him to always be at the center of our family and home.  

Dominic was fascinated by the tradition.  He has been blessing his toys and sprinkling water all over the house for the past three days.  And (once again), here he is in costume:

We have a little plant on the side of our yard that isn't doing very well.  It was Dominic's idea to ask Fr. Jerome to make an extra special blessing over this plant, to bring it back to life.  These sweet moments definitely remind me why our children are closest to Jesus!
