Marcelo's Baptism

On Sunday September 9, 2012 we baptized Marcelo at St. Theresa'a Catholic Church.  My sister and Tio Kenny are his Godparents, and of course the entire family plus some close friends also attended.  He was a good boy for the most part, but it was hard for him to sit still for very long.  I think that's the reason they suggest that you baptize while their infants!  It was a lovely ceremony and we had a nice reception at my folks' house afterward.

He ended up walking up and down the aisles

Our family friend Sylvia made this adorable cake for the reception, and it was delicious too!

My mom made a poster of pictures from my baptism 34 years ago.

First day of 1st grade!

Unfortunatley mommy's first day of school is super hectic and I couldn't stick around this year to make sure she was all ready and everything went as planned.  Thank goodness she has her daddy and grandpa to help out.  She also reminded me that this wasn't her first day at this school and she was ok with me not taking her.  It made me sad, but I went along with it!  We picked out this outfit the night before (thanks Uncle Eddie), and we planned what to have for lunch and she was all set! I still can't believe my baby is in 1st grade!

 Two of my favorites!

 Abi takes her to school every morning, and they both love it!

 Not too excited about being up so early!

 Daddy took pictures of her 2nd day for me too! She looks so cute in this!

She has the best daddy!
