Lola's Baptism

We went to Greenlake for a walk on Saturday the day before the baptism with Grandma and Grandpa.





On Mother's Day our daughter was baptized into the Catholic Church. The baptism was held at St. Catherine's Church in Maple Leaf. Both my family and Chuck's were in attendance, and a couple of friends. Afterward we went back home to celebrate with food and an ice cream cake. No, Lola did not get any cake, but if I would have thought of it, I probably would have given her the smallest piece (microscopic) to see how she would have reacted. As it turned out, since she wasn't eating cake, there was more for the rest of us. And a piece still in the freezer tempting me right now as I update this blog. Yummy!

Lola is growing every week, here are some of her more recent Sunday night photos!

Cousins wedding in Arizona

Wow, hard to believe how fast time is flying and how hard it is to keep up on my blog. We have been back from Arizona since the 26th of April and now it is already almost mid-May. Well we had a fabulous time in Phoenix for my second cousins wedding. We have grown very close to my moms sister and her family. So, when we got invited to the wedding, I said sure thing!
We did lots of dancing and finally we took pictures of Chuck, myself and Lola. We always complain that we don't ever have any of just us. Lola was an angel on the plane ride both ways and we got so many compliments on how cute HE was. Looking back it is quite comical since I have often thought she looks like a boy. It doesn't help that I dress her in neutral colors a lot of the time.

Family, Family and more Family

Lots of family time the last two weeks. Upon arriving from Boise last week, Lola's other grandma (Nana) was waiting with open arms at the airport to pick us up. We spent Friday with Nana shopping. Then Lola's cousin Noah had his 1st Birthday party and we celebrated with pizza and cake. Here are some pictures.

In Boise with family

We got to see lots of family when we went home to visit Lola's grandparents. She had a great time, despite a meltdown on the very day we arrived. After that, she was content and happy the whole week we were there. Lola saw her great grandpa who is 92 and her uncle and aunt and her 3 cousins.
