Second grade is full of several faith milestones for Luke. He attends Religious Education class weekly at our parish St. Peter. They have been busy preparing to receive two sacraments this year -- First Reconciliation this fall and then First Communion in the spring. Tonight was the service for Luke's First Reconciliation (AKA first confession). This evening, he was very reverent and gave much thought to what he would say to the priest. He also has been working hard to memorize several key prayers.
Luke - It warms our hearts to see how your character is developing and how conscientious and kind you are to others. You are a great role model to your little brothers and inspire us as parents with how you approach life and take on new challenges. As our oldest son, you made us parents, and you continue to make us so proud each and every day!

Andrew (red shirt). These boys are in the same
2nd grade class, play sports together, and
attend the same Religious Education class.
They are such respectful boys and great friends,
and it's wonderful to see these boys
growing up together!

After the church service, we celebrated with shakes
at one of our local favorites ... Rosie's Diner.
Our tradition is to order 2 shakes.
Vanilla for Dad and Luke.
Chocolate for Mom and Reid.
Wonder what Grant will prefer?!
