Sunday, April 30 was Luke's First Holy Communion, celebrated at St. Rose of Lima church in Newfield. Because Notre Dame is a regional school, each student makes First Communion in his or her home parish, and then they come together as a school class for a special Mass after all the parishes are finished to celebrate with the entire NDRS community.
Luke, as you can see, looked angelic in his white suit. I laughed as he was getting dressed, and told him that at least THIS time, the white pants fit him. He was so tiny when he was baptized that we had to put two diapers on him, and his pants STILL fell down. (Amazing how much easier it is to tailor a boys' size eight, compared to a size infant 3 month!) We had a rough time finding him a white suit and shoes, but now that we've done it once, we're all set for when it's Matthew's turn--we know just where to go. Or at least where to start, anyway.
We're very proud of Luke, and very grateful for all the grace that God has given him. And of course, very grateful to have Luke as our son.
