Why is my head all wet, it's not bath time?

Instead of Sunday being a day of mourning for the fallen Bulldogs, we decided to turn it in to a happy occasion. Why not get Christened...? OK, so it wasn't a spur of the moment decision. It had been planned for a few months and was going to be another event to be around more family and friends. I mentioned in an earlier post that I would be wearing a dress (for the last time) that had been in my grandma Michigan's family for over 60 years. Mom was Christened in it, as well as all of her cousins, aunts, uncles, etc. on her mom's side. So I figured I'd be a sport and suck it up. I have to admit I looked good in it, but I look good in anything...


Here's me with mom and pops. I'm not shouting to get out of there, I promise.

Plus grandma and grandpa Georgia.

Plus grandma and grandpa Michigan, and aunt Melissa

Plus Nana, my cousin Renee and her daughter Sarah, cousin Chuck and the deacon.


They don't tell you that the water is just above freezing. Is all holy water that cold?


All done.


I even found some time to take a little nap. We still had a party to go to.

Me and my beautiful mom.

There were five other babies there and I was by far the cutest. Even the deacon said so...but he probably tells that to everyone. I had my chest and forehead blessed with some funny smelling oil and then got a certificate. I guess it's the second that I've won if you count my birth certificate. I'm on a roll. Now let's go party.


Here's the cake that I could only look at. Bummer. I hope they kept that middle part intact.


Dylan from daycare and I discuss which diapers we like the most. I think we both agree that Pampers swaddlers are the best.


Ross, Dylan's brother, came over to console me over the UGA loss.


Mom's cousin, Chuck, came in to town for our first meeting. Go Cubs, but I hope Michigan beats your Illini this weekend.


Me and aunt Melissa. I didn't pee on her this time.


And finally our gracious hosts for the afternoon. Thanks for everything, guys.

There were many more people at the reception and I want to thank all of you for coming. I had a great time being held by all of you, and my family is lucky to have you in their lives. I know there were many more photos taken, so if you email them to me, I'll put them up.
