First Communion truly is such a special time.  And while taking this sweetheart’s pictures today I couldn’t help but think back to mine. The excitement my friends and I shared for our pretty white gowns, and getting our hair done…but looking at it now from the perspective of being a mother I can see that it truly marks a rite of passage. Little girls and boys are growing up, and becoming responsible enough to choose a path of faith and love.  Mom, thanks so much for coming by today…you are blessed with one beautiful little angel. (I hope Justin Bieber sees these!) 😀

Just love this “diva pose”!
