Acelynn is Baptized!!!

On Saturday we had Acelynn baptized at St. James. Our family was gathered around to celebrate this event with us. Acelynn did great. She didn't even cry when the water was being poured on her head!! Ava did good too. She definitely liked the audience!

Godmother Marissa, Me, Acelynn, Deacon Tom, Kyle and Godfather Corey

All baptized

Getting the sign of the cross on her forehead

Acelynn in her baptismal gown.

This gown has been passed down from generation to generation in Kyle's family. Kyle's mom and both Aunts wore it (1st generation); Kyle's cousin Kerri wore it (2nd generation); Laine (Kyle's cousin Kirk's daughter), Ava & Acelynn have worn it (3rd generation). We hope to keep this tradition going with future generations!

We followed up the baptism with a cookout at our house. The weather held off long enough for everyone to eat and hangout a little. Then it rained for a moment and then cleared up so we could make some smores' by the bonfire!!!

Growing Girls!!!

Here are some updated photos of the girls!! Everyone is doing great. Ava is getting smarter by the minute. We are at the point where you really need to be careful what you say around her because she WILL repeat it. She has been a big helper to me with Acelynn and she has become a good mommy to her dolls as well!! She likes to breastfeed them, burp them, change their diaper and rock them. Its amazing what she retains!! Acelynn is getting very long!! She is a skinny little thing. She is starting to watch the world more and smile all the time. She is still really fussy but hopefully that will get better soon as well.

Acelynn loves the sling...every time she has been in it she has fallen asleep. This was from Saturday.....she was exhausted from doing yard work with mom
