First Communion




I was one proud mom as I watched Sam celebrate his First Communion on Sunday. We were lucky enough to have lots of family come to celebrate the big event. We had a lunch at our house prior to mass. Sam has worked hard all year preparing for this day and was very proud of himself and excited to join the community at the Lord's table.

Gymnastics!

Ella participated in her first gymnastics meet last weekend. She was a little nervous to go in front of a large crowd of people but she did a great job! She competed in a floor and trampoline routine and took third place in both events. Most importantly, she had a good time. She is really enjoying gymnastics and after the meet moved up into a more advanced class.

He is Risen!

We celebrated Easter at my parents house this year. The kids woke up and searched for their Easter baskets full of goodies. Then we got ready and headed to church. After church was a nice lunch with the family and some Easter egg hunting. It was a wonderful way to celebrate our risen Lord.
