Adam made his First Holy Communion on May 6th.

At one point, both Luke and Maggie were sleeping – the hazard of going to Mass on Saturday night.

Adam was chosen as one of the children to bring the gifts up.

I wasn’t able to get any photos of him actually receiving communion, since Dave and I went up with him. He did great though. There were about 55 kids that made their First Communion that weekend, between the four Masses.

Adam was thrilled to have so many people there to celebrate with him.

He asked for a cookie cake and we let him design it himself. He was pretty proud of it.

Probably not nearly as proud as we are of him though.

I finished up the last of my work for this semester a few days ago. So now, while I impatiently wait for grades, I can work on catching up on things like laundry and posting pictures and stories here.

The weekend before Adam’s First Communion (more on that later), I took him to get pictures done. We were able to pick three of the poses to download and Adam did not make it easy. They all turned out great. I ended up letting him pick which three we should choose.

These were his favorites:

Each child had to make a banner to hang on the end of their pew. Adam asked if his could could have a shamrock on it, for Papa – of course my answer was yes.

And here are the rest of the pics. I can share them here, but they really aren’t a high enough quality for printing.

Like I said, he really didn’t make the decision an easy one. He’s a handsome kid.
