John was confirmed as John Joseph Paul Greening by Bishop Richard Pates on Friday evening. Annie served at the Mass as you can see in the 2nd picture. We all were able to enjoy an early dinner prior to the ceremony. John's Godparents (Kyle's sister, Nancy & my brother, Joe) were able to join us along with Joe's wife Kelly and their son JB who is 9 months old. John chose my brother, John as his confirmation sponsor and John's wife Suzanne and their daughters Clare (4) and Kate (2) joined us as well.
Saturday was fun and relaxing with family. Tom Appell (a friend of Joe's from high school) joined us and he, John G., John C. & Joe ran on the bike trails and over to the hotel where John & his family stayed. We all played in the pool and then headed back to our house for lunch. The weather was beautiful so we went to Campbell Park near our house for kite flying, swings, jungle gym climbing, bike riding, batting cages & volleyball practicing. A more perfect day couldn't have been ordered.
Sunday afternoon was Erin's 1st Communion. John & Annie served at the Mass and Katie sang in the choir. Erin's Godparents are John & Suzanne, my brother & sister-in-law.
