Emma's Baptism Weekend


This past weekend our house was filled with out of town guests for Emma's baptism. My mom was the first to come on Thursday followed by the Harpers on Friday afternoon. My dad, Grandmother and Robin showed up later that night and the Stones made it out early Saturday morning. Overall it was a very full house. We had a great time with everyone. Friday night was spent having a great steak dinner at home followed by a night of dominos. Saturday, the boys and I worked outside - them cutting down some dead trees and me digging rocks out of our yard. Then we all headed to Newport to have dinner at the Hofbrau House and walk around the waterfront. Sunday, Kris made his wonderful french toast for us all and then we went off to church for Sunday service and Emma's baptism. Emma did great, especially for being extremely tired and hungry. Of course, she still smells from the oil, but we are so glad to welcome her into the church.


Emma also sprouted another tooth this weekend. Hopefully, we can get back to the happy baby soon. She is sitting a lot better now and really enjoys going after Ryan's toys - the baby toys don't seem to interest her as much.


As for Ryan, his speech has come a long way this week. We were all amazed at what he was saying. He really enjoyed having everyone here to play with and seemed to want to talk to them so much. He really enjoyed 'bothering' Nanny as he is calling my mom. He was obviously tired on Saturday when we found him on the floor in the living room sleeping! I'm very excited to see if his new speaking continues.
