Library class

Reed decided to finally give it a shot and go to library class all on his own, just like the big boys do after school.
He's been going along to the library his entire life and just decided he was ready to go to a class all by himself. And he loves it!
This is the first project he made there!

Brody's First Communion-April 2018

Brody made his First Holy Communion this spring. 

He was excited to accomplish this, especially after watching Dane do all his preparations last year and be able to go up during mass to receive Communion. It's a satisfying reward for all the classes and learning to be able to get that snack during mass. He is particularly fond of also having wine when it's offered. :)
