George's Baptism

Our first guest was Aunt Pat who flew in from Philadelphia early Friday. Becca, George and I picked her up at the airport while Patrick was at school.


A special thanks to my sister Pat for all the extra help she gave us this weekend. The kids loved having the extra time with you and I enjoyed having another adult around to talk to.

Aunt Pat brought back this hat for George from London where she just spent three weeks. As you can see, George was not very excited about the hat at first.

George found a comfortable lap to sleep in.

It should come as no surprise that Becca found a book and Annie at the same time.

Teddy not looking so happy.

Some happy faces from church. First Patrick.

Then Becca and Brittany.

Don't forget Jake.

And George and Mike.

A good soaking of holy water...

...which he was not all together happy with but he hung in there like a champ.

Anointing with oil.

George and his Godparents, Elizabeth and Harvey.

Thanks Kanka for being our photographer for the day.

Yesterday we opened all the new toys. Becca got her princesses right to the castle.


And Pat needed a shave.

George has learned to like the hat just a little which makes his Mummy very happy.

If you have some pictures you'd like to share feel free to e-mail them or send the prints. We'd love to have them.Thanks to all of you who made the trip down to see us and my apologies to all of you who got sick. Many of you have told me you will not come to another baptism at this house since we seem to spread disease when you do and I don't blame you. I guess that shows how lucky we are to have such a wonderful family and friends.
