If I have to listen to Little Brother and Adventure Boy singing along to this (over and over and overandoverandover), the least you can do is suffer along with me!

Brand New Lyrics
Adventure Boy just came up the driveway, singing at the top of his voice.
He has a nice singing voice, but he didn’t hear the lyrics correctly when he learned this patriotic tune:
“You’re a brand new flag, you’re a high-flying flag…”
A Baptism on Pentecost
This morning at Mass, Father H had the opportunity to do something he appears to really enjoy: baptizing a child. And on Pentecost, no less!
In this case, the child was none other than Adventure Boy!
Father H believes that baptisms are for the whole community–they are not just “private family celebrations” because the whole parish, the whole Catholic community, is the family of the person being baptized. He encouraged everyone to renew their Baptismal promises and really think about our commitment to help Adventure Boy as he grows in the faith.
TheDad and I are Adventure Boy’s godparents. We pray that his life in the Church will be fruitful. We pray for his parents, his grandparents and his brother and sisters. And we take our responsibility seriously to help raise this child in the faith.
God bless you, Adventure Boy!
Why the Boys Always Play at My House
Adventure Boy is here to play with Little Brother, and he brought a picture he drew on a large sheet of paper. It’s got a big cutout of an alligator in the middle, two little boys playing video games, two houses, a pumpkin, and a few other things. He told me that one of the houses is his, and that in his house “the red thing is a real gun. ‘Cause my dad hung up a real gun.”
Oh boy. I hope his dad locked up the bullets someplace else.
Stay safe, Adventure Boy.
