Boys & Baptism's

This past Saturday, Nov. 11th, we had Nolan baptized at Holy Rosary Church in West Seattle.  There was another 2 year old girl also getting baptized.  While she sat quietly next to her parents, Nolan was drawing on himself, handing the lady behind us markers, stuffing bear crackers into his mouth. However, both boys were really good...for being boys!

Nolan and Keaton were quite curious about the whole thing...

 

Aunt Claudia was Nolan's God Parent and was the perfect person for the job.  She has been such a huge part of his life and a VERY important person in our family's life.

 

Happy Family! Time for Cake!

 

Congratulations Nolan!

 

 

Happy Halloween, Thank you.

Keaton almost sounded like a robot, "Happy Halloween, Thank you." He usually didn't even wait for them to put the candy in his bucket.  I really emphasized how important it was to say thank you and he would tell me in a sad voice when he forgot to say it.

Keaton has really been into Ninjas so a Teenage Mutant  Ninja Turtle was the perfect costume.  And Nolan loves to say "Moo" so his was fitting also.  Keaton is getting lots of use out of his costume and has been wearing it to the gym.  There is a guy there who always has a Spider Man or Captain America costume on so I think that's why he does it.

It was a horribly rainy day on Halloween.  None of us wanted to leave the house but knew we had to.  We went down to the shopping area by our house and quickly did some trick-or-treating before getting too wet.
