FHC in Ireland

On Saturday 17th of May Malachy and his little class of 6 lads from Killea Boys National School made their First Holy Communion with the pretty maids of 'Light of Christ' (Niamh's school) at our local church. He was the proud reader of the first reading and looked very grown up on the altar. It is a big thing here in Ireland and all the families were dressed to the nines...not to mention the little 'Brides of Christ'.

Short of family and friends we invited our 2 neighbours to join us for an Aussie BBQ and game of cricket on the back lawn. Well we did manage to light the barbie and cook the meat but eating outside become difficult once the drizzle and cold set in...cricket was also put on hold for a dry day. We had a fun day despite the weather and Malachy enjoyed himself.He is doing so well and we are all very proud of him.

Malachy has written several more stories some with very interesting twists. He is certainly following in his Da's footsteps. He saw an author give a talk last week at the local library and couldn't resist asking the author if any of his books have been made into films. He then let slip that one of his had!! He has such a grown up view of the world it makes me laugh at times.
