Andrew's Baptism

This weekend was Andrew's Baptism. The weekend started with my sister Ann Marie and her family arriving late on Friday night. On Saturday, Colleen, and my parents headed up. My cousins Callan and Kennedy and my Aunt Sue and Uncle Tom came too. It was a great day for guests and everyone hung outside until 5pm mass. Here are the boys in church!

Above, is my cousin Callan (The Godfather!) lighting the Baptismal Candle.

Father Kevin introducing Andrew to us after he was a real "member" of the church!

Father recruited Curtis to be his special "helper" during the service! Kept Curtis busy!

The family

Three generations of Godparents. Uncle Tom is my godfather. I'm Callan's godmother, and Callan is Andrew's godfather. Above we are having a good laugh when we found out that Tom took pictures of the ceremony with the camera facing the wrong way!

Father blessing Erik....and Curtis in full "helper" mode!

Cullen and Aunt Colleen. The kids were REAL troopers. Mass was an hour and 10 minutes and then there was a blessing and THEN the Baptism. We were in church for over two hours! They all did great!

Stroller Buddies!

This is the first of many walks where Meredith and Andrew are stroller buddies! They were loving every minute of it and so was I! Megan got her ear talked off! Have I mentioned that I LOVE having my sister live by me...and home on maternity leave!!!!????

Playing Hard!

A sure sign it's spring...We are outside from morning till dusk! Last night I called Johnny in for dinner and went outside for a few minutes! This is what I found when I came in! 5pm! We tried to wake him several times! Wasn't so cute or funny come 10pm last night when he was still awake! (Anyone that knows me knows my kids are in bed by 7pm every night!)

Just can't get enough of this little "Hunk-of-a-Chunk!"

Shout Out!

A lot of you may know Erik's best friend Josh, who is also Johnny's Godfather. He now works for Dell. I had to give a shout out to him. Click on the site below to see him on a Dell Video! I'm SO proud of him! Now, line up and go get your new computers! I know I WANT one! Hint, hint, wink, wink, nudge, nudge.

Poor Curtis

Curtis fell outside today chasing a ball in the culd-a-sac. He's NOT going to school tomorrow and wants to start Spring Break early! I'm sure come tomorrow he'll forget all about it and want to go. Poor Curtis...it's his first fall, but certainly not his last!

That's My Girl!

Johnny, Andrew, and a friend all hanging out!

My lil' Bubba is getting SO big! 5 months old, and chowing down 3 meals a day! I LOVE this age, where they are on a schedule, can sit up and play with toys, and are NOT mobile yet!
Meredith came over to visit. The boys were SO into her! Anyways, she definitely is going to be a true "Curtis." The boys each had one piece of chocolate when she was over from Holland. About a half hour later, we noticed that Meredith had it all over her hand and on her clothes. She tried to steal some from Johnny! That's my girl! Not only will she be my shopping partner, but my chocolate partner as well! Gotta love her ALREADY!
