Drew's First Communion
















What a special day it was! Our dear friend Fr. Stan, who is Charlie's godfather, was able to fly in and serve at Mass. He was even able to give Drew his first Holy Eucharist! His NeeNee and Paw Pee were here, as was his godmother Sarah. Sarah, who complained that we had taken all the "good" gifts already (Bible, rosary, etc.) ended up giving the coolest gifts...She wrote all the verses in the Bible having to do with Saint Andrew on seperate cards, included a personal prayer from her and had a corresponding gift attached! It was so incredible...for example, Andrew became a fisher of men...and this was attached to a fishing pole, swim goggles accompanied the verse relating to seeing clearly, etc. We all had fun watching him open all the various, surprising gifts! We had a huge taco buffet when we got home, as Drew requested, then dove into the beautiful cake that Emily made. It was a wonderful day and I wish all of our family could have attended but I know you were here in spirit. Here are a few pics.
