I have observed a strange phenomenon in Luxembourg, this small country I am calling home. When children start preparing for their Communion in 3rd grade, parents get really nervous. It is a family celebration and everybody wants his house to look nice and clean for the big day. So they start building......and painting......
......and gardening.
The last time I remember the garden being so beautiful was when we had to take pictures for our adoption profile ;-).
(We'll have another Communion in two years).
