For the last 3 years I have had the honor to be a part of Marie's teaching team at church for religious education. Kindergarten and First grade were full of prayer memorization and parables while 2nd grade has been full of preparation for First Reconciliation and First Holy Communion.
Marie is a thinker...she takes her time to fully understand the information and is quiet while thinking.
She took this year very seriously.
In February she experienced her First Reconciliation. She wasn't nervous at the moment, went in confidently, and walked out looking older and even a bit more wise. What a proud day.
This past month she was finally ready to receive her First Holy Communion.
She has been waiting for this for a long time and she was very anxious for the experience.
Once again, she took it seriously, was confident, and you guessed it, looked older on that snowy day in April.
What a blessing this girl is.
She is wise beyond her years while still needing guidance and questions answered.
She is a good friend, leader, protector of those she loves, and always willing to help her brothers.

| Godparents with Marie at Baptism-September 2009 |
There was a blizzard on this First Communion Sunday, but we still had many family members present. Katie and Chris are Marie's baptismal godparents. It was special to have them both present at her First Holy Communion as well.
This year has been a year of growth for her and we are so very proud.
