Today was a big day for the family as Corwin was confirmed at church as a full member. Corwin managed to get all of his required sermon notes in (which put him ahead of some of the other confirmants, surprisingly). Mom of course was the real work horse during the years leading up to this, or perhaps the teamster would be a better term. Corwin’s main thril was the cessation of confirmation activities.
There were a total of 10 kids confirmed this year and they had a nice little ceremony during church services for them. Mom arranged for a small brunch in the afternoon for his church sponsor and relatives. The big challenge is that Mom asked Corwin what kind of food he wanted and he said “waffles and bacon” (he passed on the chocolate covered bacon). Mom wasn’t thrilled because the schedule was tight, but she was able to come up with a solution and have both of those for Corwin.
I dropped by a bit but this was also picture day for Alice at dance so I spent that time shuttling Alice back and forth because she is in two activies and so needed two different costumes with different hair arrangements1 (the latter of which Mom took care of, between bouts of waffle and bacon cooking). I thought I would have to wait but this year, for the first time apparently2 the dance studio has the pictures running on rails and I was effectively late both times even though I arrived before the scheduled picture time (the second time, 10 minutes early). Alice at least was very excited about the whole thing.
