God Bless

Well, we had a beautiful day for Audrey and Jack's baptism. It was so neat to have them baptized on the same day. Joan and Eric are Audrey's godparents and my sister Beth is Jack's godmother. Most of you know the story behind the christening gown, but here it is for those who don't and are interested. Dave's mom bought this gown right before Allyssa (Michele's oldest) was baptized. It has a slip underneath it on which all of the grandkids' names and baptism dates are embroidered! All of the 12 grandchildren have worn it and have their names on it. (Correction, Thea didn't wear it but her baptismal information is on it.) Its so cool to see how it has gone from having just one name on it, to 12! Not sure if there will be a number 13, but I AM sure that if there is, it WON'T be ours!

Anyhow, after church, we had a family gathering at our house. In keeping with tradition, the kids (Dave, Eric and Michele included) played a fierce game of wiffle ball. Andy, you missed it!

Easter

My sister hosted Easter dinner this year. We were joined by Dave's parents as well. It was fun...can't believe there were flurries here on Easter! The Easter Bunny is so going to kick that stupid groundhog's ass!

Powder

I have a few things to say about this:
1. Now I know how Carpet Fresh was invented (by a mom!)
2. At least it wasn't Vaseline! (LOL Jenny)
3. Powder will not stick to areas coated with tears, slobber and boogies.
4. Everything else has child-proof caps, why not this?
5. The next time Charlie yells that Ellie is "covered all over with smoke", I will know that she probably is not on fire.
6. My kid will smile for a camera under any circumstance
7. Supernanny come quick!

Bumbo and Big George

Just a few photos from this past weekend. I tried to put Audrey in the Bumbo. Her neck is not quite strong enough yet but she lasted long enough for a quick photo shoot. Also, a rare photo of my dad holding Audrey. He only holds them for short periods of time when they are this little!
