Baptism

Baptism was a success. Everybody got there in time, despite some crazy schedules (nephews' baseball games, swim meets, etc.) and Riley was so good! He was even awake for a good portion of the mass, and didn't even cry when the priest poured that cold water on his head. Such a tough little guy! I think pretty much the whole church was impressed with that :)

This picture is awful...not sure who ended up with my camera, but all my pics are fuzzy. Hoping to get some good ones from our family, though I always say that and nobody ever sends me their pictures!


Afterwards, we had everyone over to our house for food, drinks and cake of course!



And we had to get a family picture. Don't worry, Kelly didn't actually wear jeans to the ceremony...he just changed before I could grab him for a picture. I also didn't actually wear flipflops...I just didn't want to wear my heels anymore once we got home :) And yes, that's our house behind us. Don't mind the half-finished front porch. I promise its a vast improvement on what was there a year ago...its just not quite done yet.




I had intended to talk about other things in this post too. But considering its taken me like a week to get this much written...and the baby that I thought was about to fall asleep appears now to be wide awake....I better get this up as is or it'll be another week. haha! :)

If I get to it, I need to tell you all about Riley and my first trip to the grandparents. It was not what I would call a success, I'll say that much!!
