Sunday was baptism day for Paige Elizabeth L. Whelan. Above she is getting dressed in the dress Beth wore a few years ago at her own christening. The ensemble that Bethie wore didn't have booties so I made a pair for her (Paige) and embellished them with parts of Betty's (Beth's Mom) wedding dress .... it is rare that I give myself a pat on the back, but those booties were absolutely precious - I was quite proud of them. Patrick is putting them on her in the photo above but it is a lousy shot of them - don't think there is a clear shot. Above, obviously is Pat, Beth, Muffin, Beth's Mom (Betty) and yours truly.
TAH DAH ..... Ms Muffin ready for her day!!
Above is Beth's grandfather (Vovo) and Beth's Dad (Roy). Below is the Minister that did the "ceremony" and Beth's brother and Paige's new Godfather (Tim)
And below is Tim's fiance and Paige's new Godmother (Amanda)
Other things in these parts ~ we had some terrific neighbors for the weekend. Often times when we see that someone pulling in next to us with kids and a dog we are not particularly thrilled (sites in these parts are much too close together). Last Friday provided the same reaction .... We couldn't have been any more wrong with our reaction - what a delightful family we had for neighbors - Mike and Beth and their children Mikey and Noah - Noah was just the sweetest five year old ... The photo below is Mikey - I looked over on Saturday night and the kids were working on the marshmallows for their s'mores (Noah came over to ask us if we wanted one) by the time I got back from the coach Noah was no longer working on the marshmallow part - but it was a great profile around the fire ....
The fella below joined us around our fire early on Saturday - I swear he was two inches long!!!
Yesterday afternoon as Rick and I were chilling after working our butts off cleaning all the outside cabinets a tour bus came into the campground and left about 25 young teens in our backyard! Our reaction to that was similar to the reaction mentioned above about small children and dogs ..... It was so so entertaining to watch some of the princesses try to set up a tent! They finally got their three assembled with lots of help. Then came the gathering listening to rules and regulations from the councillors (or those in "authority"). We still don't know the story behind the story - who, what and where ... but thankfully when we got back to the coach around 9:00 last night it was reasonably quiet in the 'hood! And they were up and out on their day's adventure by 8:15 this morning.
Today is raining - it's been a while since we've had serious precipitation so I won't whine about it .... Rick and I (and probably Sir) are off to do a couple errands in a while then I have a couple tests later this afternoon - thought the medical stuff was over but I was able to get these scheduled here before we hit the road and medical stuff is sort of hit or miss.
Happy birthday tomorrow to my honey and to Trisha.
