Mr. Blue Eyes!!!

How can you resist these BIG BLUE EYES?....they are so beautiful... Thanks to Michele for taking this shot:)

My niece, Samantha and her mom, Mindy below were really funny, play fighting over John...they each got their turn:)

My sister, Michele and my Dad with John. Everyone wanted their time with John....he was really passed around that day. You'd never know it tho, he was the best little boy. Just slept when he was tired even with all the noise. He slept from 9:30 that night til 5:30 a.m..took a bottle and slept til 7:30. Now that's a good boy!

Here we are just before the party started...it was from 10 a.m. til 5 p.m. It was so much fun...like we were catering again...but only for ONE JOB..Ha. About 38 people came. Steve and Di were so happy with how it went...so relaxed and smooth...

Here's my Uncle Brad and God Father....and Aunt Vivien too...I love them so... Thanks Aunt Vivien for my GREAT cupcakes!

Open House Party for John's Baptism

Vivien make the cupcakes for John's Party and not only were they beautifully done - they were DELICIOUS!!!
Since it was an open house the cupcakes were perfect...the last people didn't see a "cut up cake". Everyone loved this idea.
I'm having trouble putting more than 2 photos on the blog at a time so you'll have to bear with me:)

This is what the cupcake pyramid looked like....The cupcakes with the "shell" on them are handmade choc..mmmm The ones with JGR on them are put on 1/2 a choc cookie... the icing was made to look like sand. The "shell" was the theme for the baptism and a real shell was used to baptise John.
More photos to come:)

Oct. 23rd...RV off to the Garage

Well,,,,this is the first time we've had the RV winterized in 5 years... the first time for this one. Yest. we took it from this place to the garage to have the safety check and oil change before we take it to the "under roof" storage....:( Spring is JUST AROUND THE CORNER!!! hehe.

Baptism in MD. -Sunday Oct. 19, 2008

After the service we all went back to Di's parents house for a delicious buffet...Can you tell John loved getting out of that outfit and into some comfy clothes? We arrived back home in Pa. at 7 P.M... a very long day!

Sorry these photos are out of order:( This is after the bottle... Oh, and didn't say that the 6 month old outfit JUST fit - actually, the back buttons opened during the service.. One more week and he wouldn't have fit into it!

Our little redhead!

Ah, now this is what I needed after that long morning...Great Grammie had just the ticket! MMMMM

It was a glorious day driving the 2 1/2 hours in the crisp fall air looking at the beautiful colored leaves with the sun shining all the way to a little country church in MD. It was a long morning for John but he did great! The pastor was afraid to put the water on his head fearing that he'd cry...she doesn't know our John..she could have poured the whole basin over his head and he wouldn't cry, he loves it! What a great day!

This is our 15 lb. Pumpkin....:)

Yep...he's 15 lb. now and in the first stages of trying to crawl! Still getting between 4 and 5 oz. of formula every 3 hours.... Some of you have asked how many days we have John... We USUALLY get him on Monday Thurs. and Friday from 6:45 til 12:30....Tues and Wed. all day from 6:45 til 4:30. This is not written in "stone"...so the schedule can change from week to week. So there you have it for those who wanted to know! I have a feeling the bare feet weather is coming to an end real soon....we're enjoying it while we can.
