Holy Saturday

"onange!" is his favorite color

My Portuguese sweet bread looks decidedly Greek this year

Holy Saturday is always a day of preparation for us, a day of waiting and expecting. We have spent that last two evenings at our church for the Last Supper Mass, a Tenebrae service, and last night's Passion Service. Tonight is the Easter Vigil, my favorite night of the year. I am very ready to have this baby and I'll admit that I am struggling today trying to get everything done. Hopefully tomorrow will be a bit more relaxing, and we are looking forward to a school vacation week.
