Since I haven't officially introduced our nephew here (who is now 9 months and looks like an 18 month old!), I thought I would finally do so. And since we are going the Sacrament route, I might as well include my wonderful brother's 1st Communion (Plus they are both my/our Godsons!). There has been a lot in between these events, and hopefully I will get there sometime...
So, introducing Andrew Kevin Volker, our beautiful Nephew and Godson! Born on September 27th and is seriously growing like a weed--a muscular and hearty one!

He was baptized the Sunday after Thanksgiving, which made a wonderful weekend full of family!
 |
| Not sure what is about to happen, but lookin adorable! |
 |
| Getting blessed. |
 |
| More blessings |
 |
| Happy Family with a newly baptized son. |
 |
| Adorable little feet. This is the same gown that Molly, Luke, Michael, Evie, Lachlan, and Torin have worn. One holy gown! |
Andrew, now that you are a New Creation, how do you feel?
 |
| 'Feelin pretty good!' |
A very belated 'Welcome to the Church, Andrew!'
About 6 months later, we celebrated another beautiful sacrament, for another beautiful guy-my brother, James! Unfortunately I was the only Godmother/Sister to be present...so that makes me the favorite, right, James?!?! : )
We arrived right before the adorable little First Communicants precessed down the aisle, and I couldn't help but get a little emotional, witnessing their excitement to receive Jesus in a special way for the first time. I told Mom that if I am affected this way for my brother, what's it going to be like when it's for my own boys!

| Godparents! |
 |
| Oh the joy! |
 |
| What handsome fellas! |
After Church we went to Mom and Dad's to celebrate with a lovely brunch-their
last First Communion brunch! ; )
 |
| 3 generations represented during the blessing over the food. |
 |
| Quack if you love Jesus! |
James, now that you received your First Communion, how do you feel?
 |
| 'Feelin pretty good!' |
We are very excited for both of you, you handsome boys! We are praying for you.
St James, Pray for us
St Andrew, Pray for us
Love ya, mean it!
Be here now
