PreParty

The day before Logan's baptism we had a pre-party for those who came in town that day. After dinner we enjoyed another night around the fire pit. Henry wasn't too sure about the flames, but he eventually got close enough to roast a marshmallow or two. He still needs a lot of practice before he masters the art of roasting the perfect marshmallow. His attention span is great, but not quite great enough to be still long enough for roasting. I'm not complaining about more roasting marshmallow time!

Logan's Baptism

September 3rd we celebrated Logan's baptism. We had family and friends in town to help us welcome Logan into the Catholic church. Somehow Logan squeezed into the same outfit Henry wore on his baptism (not buttoning all most of the bottons helped out). Logan's godmother is my sister, Kathleen, and his godfather is Todd's friend, Mike. Although Logan won't remember the ceremony or the after party, we'll be sure to tell him how much love surrounded him on that day. Thank you to everyone for coming to help us celebrate!

Birthday Bash Part 1

We have been doing a whole lot of celebrating lately. First, we had Henry's friend birthday party and then last weekend we had a baptism party for Logan and a family birthday party for Henry. Here are some pictures from party #1. I had a lot of fun putting it together for Henry. This year I asked him what kind of party he wanted. For the longest time I thought he would want a truck party, but when I asked him he requested a "Buzz Lightyear" party. Soon after Logan's arrival, my first guilty feelings of sharing my time with the two boys really hit hard. To do something fun with Henry (and still stay close to home for Logan) we started watching the Toy Story movies together. And that is when Henry's love all things Toy Story began.
