Holy Confirmation!

Kaylee is continuously making us proud.  She is an amazing kid and works so hard to do the right thing.  When she was 3 she started attending a baptist church on Wednesday night so that she could participate in Awanas with her babysitter.  She loved that program so I was shocked when she wanted to give that up to become catholic.  What kindergartner knows what that sacrifice really means?  She wanted to attend PSR with the church that we were now attending with Matt's family.  In order to do that she had to give up Awanas since they were both on the same night.  Not a Wednesday went by that Kaylee didnt look forward to going to PSR.  She even attended PSR at a couple different churches but she never was any less excited to go.  She worked hard and this year after 8 years of participation she made her Holy Confirmation.  She is officially a Catholic and a member of Good Shepherd Church of Hillsboro.  I couldn't be more proud of her than I am today!

Joan of Arc is the Saint name she chose.  We bought her a bracelet with the quote by Joan of Arc "I am not afraid, I was born to do this".  I felt this was perfect for Kaylee.  She is such a strong and powerful lady.  She is going to do great things.

She chose her 8th grade PSR teacher Gary Grzeskowiak as her sponsor.  This man couldn't have been any happier.  He was in tears and disbelief that she looked up to his this much.  He also happens to work at the school so she sees him often.
