Mack's First Ash Wednesday

Yesterday was Ash Wednesday so Mack & I went to the 6pm service (Jon went during school).  It was a bit crowded but Mack loved the singing and babbled through the entire service because he was tired.  He made friends with the couple behind us, tried to tear up the misselet and also wanted to gum the bench in front of us.  At one point during communion (when the bells ring - a very quiet, solemn time) he let a loud shriek! He got ashes (barely visible here since he was snuggling into me a lot) and a blessing during communion.

He was happy to get home to see his Daddy and get in bed!
