More baptism pictures

I haven't figured out how to do captions so here's the rundown. Lamb cake with wine -- works for me, Larry with Matthew (thought it was Zack at first he's gotten so big), Brett (Jonathan's dad) with Roo, Larry and I with Jamie, Jonathan, and Marianna, the little guest of honor, Laura (Jonathan's mom) with M., Rachel and Zack with Roo, and finally -- David and Jes and family who were proxy godparents filling in for Alice and Chris who were still in Austin after fleeing Hurricane Ike. So number 18 grandchild is now an official member of the Church Militant. She witnesses for life just by being who she is.

A baptim and Life cereal

Chris (Alice's husband) sent me an email about the blog he's starting. Sounds like a winner:

"I am starting a blog listing everything I eat at every meal each day. I am eating Life cereal right now with skim milk. I finished Sophie's banana off prior to eating the cereal, but had I been thinking ahead, I would have put the two together. More to follow..."

Do I detect a little sarcasm here? Thanks for the chuckle, Chris.

Marianna was baptized on Sunday at Sacred Heart in Winchester. The new priest, Fr. Baez, officiated. The little bundle of grace let out a few healthy squawks, but settled down happily. And the get-together at Jamie and Jonathan's afterwards was fun with FOUR grandmas and two grandpas.
