Sophia's First Communion

This past weekend was Sophia's First Holy Communion. It has been a good, long year of CCD preparation and school at home to get her ready to receive our Lord, Body, Blood, Soul, & Divinity, in this beautiful sacrament. It was also May Crowning at church AND Mother's Day. Sophia and the other little Communicant, Amy, got to carry up Mary's crown together, then placed it on together;).

As you can tell it was a little breezy outside.

Both sets of Grandparents came for the special day.

Amy and Sophia with Fr. Mark Seiker.

She was quite done with pictures by this time - as you can tell from the teary eyes.

She justed wanted a snack, MMMOOMMM!

All smiles as she poses with the decorated brownies.

Our good friends, Mary Kate & Ron Tejral, made the trip up from Stillwater, OK. We've been friends since we met them at OSU while Michael was a grad student. We had a great time visiting and letting the kids get re-acquainted. 9 kiddos between the two families!
