Since our Easter/Pascha service is in the middle of the night on Saturday, our parish always gets together for an afternoon picnic at a beautiful local park. We began with the Agape Vespers service. We also had the joy of doing naming prayers for our friends’ new baby boy. The meal is a potluck, so [...]
We woke up late on Pascha morning. The kids were so good and played quietly in their rooms like we had told them to. We didn’t get home from our Pascha service until after 4am.

The children and I made a candle to bring to with us to the dinner. We used the beeswax from Ambrose’s namesday. It has [...]
He started crawling on Saturday and is, apparently, following in his biggest brother’s footsteps. David didn’t crawl until he was almost 11 months old. Then he took his first steps on his first birthday and was walking by 13 months. We’ll see is Ambrose does the same! Here’s a little video of him talking:
