Just a Few More

We had more family meeting last week.  Great Grandma Hatton passed away the night before Becca's 1st Communion.  She would have been 87 last Wednesday and she will be missed.  Here we have the two Mary Hattons together at last.

Great Grandpa Hatton was very happy to finally meet Mary.

4th graders at St. Pat's all learn the recorder and join the band at the Spring concert.  Only Mary and I were able to go with Pat but he did a good job.

Mary has started smiling for us.  Here are a series of shots of me trying to share that with the world.

Today Mary is three months old and weigh about 10lbs.  It seems like we may have a redhead on our hands; even her eyebrows!  All the kids continue to be healthy, strong, and intelligent.

Mary's Baptism

We continued our busy weekend on Sunday with Mary's baptism.  Patrick was our photographer.

Getting ready to be blessed by Fr. Julius.

I really like this picture.

 

The Godfather, Justin, looks like a superhero.

George would not cooperate for this picture but he is there somewhere between Mike and me.

 Patrick also took some shots of the crowd.

Chris was thrilled to be asked to be the Godmother.

My Aunt Joan was kind enough to make the trip from South Bend to join our party.  It was great to have her here.

 Patrick seems to have an eye for a pretty picture.

All the girls love Aunt Teresa.

We will close with a picture of Mary with her Godparents.  Thank you Chris and Justin for agreeing to help guide our little girl in the ways of Christ.

Becca's 1st Communion

 The first weekend of May was a bi crazy for us.  Becca celebrated her 1st Holy Communion on Saturday.  We'll start with George.

I took a few pictures when we arrived.  Becca looks so lady like.

But this is my goofball!

 

With her buddy Lydia.

With Pia before the Mass.

Mike and George had a late morning soccer game and arrived later then the rest of us.  Mike got some beautiful shots of Becca and George.

I love this kid!

All the new communicate sang a song for us.  It was lovely.

 Aunt Teresa was kind enough to share the pictures she took from up in the balcony.  Patrick was excited to serve at the Mass.

Becca was delighted to join the communion club.

Now on to the party.  Annie and Tyler hanging out.

Becca enthralled by a book.

Lia is not one to be left out.

Patrick being a pain while Grandma Sullivan tries to take a picture.

Becca with Grandma Sullivan.

Since Aunt Teresa has a house full of boys, Becca has always been happy to step in as her little girl.

Mary did not lack for attention that afternoon.  Here she is with Uncle Dan.

Gabe with Mary.

All the Sullivan boys fell in love with her as well.  Who can blame them?

That's it for now.  Thank you Teresa for sharing your photos.  Come back soon for even more photos from the weekend.
