1st Communion

Easter was extra special for us this year, because Claire completed
her 1st Communion classes and received her 1st Communion
on Maundy Thursday.

Hope celebrated 1st Communion with over 200 kids this year
and I really enjoyed going through the process with Claire.
The 2 classes were both interesting and fun.
That is one of the many things I love about our church.
They find a way to teach meaningfully, yet in a way that is fun
and makes you want to learn more.

On Maundy Thursday we got together with our "best family friends"
The Liskeys and all of our families, and celebrated Claire and Katie's
special night.  It was wonderful to be able to celebrate with so
many people that love our girls very much!



Claire, supported by her Godmother Ashley and
Godfather John.  Two very important people in her life!

Claire taking her 1st Communion with Wendy!
What a blessing to have Wendy there to be a part of this moment.
Of course, that didn't help the tears any!

God bless you girls.  Stay faithful to God, serve along side
each other, and be accountable to one another.
Always stand by each other with integrity, love and faith.
We love you very much!

God bless our child and our family ~
