Blessing

Last weekend we took Lincoln to be blessed at our church. This is a common celebration on or near St. Francis Day. Lots of parishioners brought their pets and Fr. David said a simple prayer with each family and sprinkled some holy water on the pets.

We have a lovely little St. Francis alcove in the church garden.


There were tons of dogs, only two cats and one horse. (Fr. David walked out to the horse trailer in the parking lot to bless the horse.)


It looks like both Ben and Lincoln have their tongues hanging out. Typical.


And then we went out for ice cream... which is quite typical for our family. Nearly every adventure ends with ice cream.

Even Lincoln had a teeny taste!
