There are some events when we grow up that are indeed recognized as rites of passage, and first communion would be one of them. Aiden has been preparing for this for a while now. Wenda has helped him with a study book and homework concerning this event, and last Sunday was the big day for the grade 2 class at his school. Each of the children had a role to play in the service, and Aiden's was to carry the chalice. Here he is all dressed up in his new suit, and when we all go home, there is a lovely meal for family to celebrate the event. There is just one problem. We have a little mouse in the house that likes to stick her fingers in the icing on the cake when nobody is looking. In one of the pictures you can see her eyeing the cake when Aiden is cutting the first slice.
Aiden has been busy this last couple weeks trying out for the Toros hockey team. Their AAA team won all of southern Ontario this year, so you can imagine how hard it would be to get on that team. So far he is trying out for the single A team, and that competition is pretty tough as well. Friday, they put the tryouts in a test against an Oshawa team - sink or swim guys, its showtime.
