This past weekend was Samuel's Baptism. We had a lot of family in town, and we had a lot of fun. Of course, Grace loved the fact that PaPa was here and spent almost the entire time in his arms or on his lap. Yes, she enjoyed Grandma's presence too, but I don't think it would be a secret to anyone to say Grace has a favorite. Aunt Sonia and Uncle Buck joined us with an 11 month old Jack who tore up the floor with his crawling like a driver at the Indianapolis 500; that kid can move! We were also lucky enough to have Mimi and Great Aunt Rhonda join us. Finally, of course the Godfather, Bryan and his wife Sou journeyed all the way from Florida to hang with the Templin Krewe for a few days of festivities, fun, & sun. That's right, I said SUN!
The truth is, even though it was nice to get everyone out of the house, just to be able to clean up a but and have some alone time, we really do miss them already! Good thing we have a family reunion only a month away.
There are truckloads of photos, and I'll only post a few here. Look for an entire album posted at Picasa HERE. Sarah will be retelling the story of the baptism itself in a blog post to arrive shortly.

You would think with all this family around, Sam would be too excited to sleep. Nope.
Grace loves books - no mater who reads them to her.
Man'n UP!

This kid really is a power sleeper.
"No, I don't want to hang out with you,
can't you see Papa is here."

"...No, you are doing it wrong"
I love you anyway!
