Happy Baptism, Charlotte
Once again we had a houseful of people and we loved it...the only bad part is when everyone leaves! Nana came to stay to help with Ella and Charlotte while I had surgery and she really saved the day. Ella didn't even notice mommy was gone having Nana here. Thanks, Nana!
Then Kait and Grandma came as well, and everyone was here for Charlotte's big day. Erik is the godfather and was not able to be here in person but was definitely here in spirit (and often on the webcam). Ella said he couldn't be here because her had to work and exercise. Hmmm...
Charlotte did pretty well at the baptism, but felt the ceremony got a little long. The last five minutes were not pretty!
Also, she has a splendid new habit of NOT GOING BACK TO SLEEP after night time nursing sessions. Anyone encountered this? If so help please. I mean, the upside is 3 am blog postings, the downside is Ella wakes up at 6am and I may go crazy due to lack of sleep....
Here are some photos of the big day. And thanks to everyone who came to our party, we loved having you here. The yard full of kids running around (yes, living in southern CA in March can be nice!) was such a treat to see.

Is this over yet, Charlotte asks, and when she realizes it is not she figures some very loud cries should end it...

Three generations - the third being two very tired little girls...

Congratulations, Charlotte. Now that you are offically a Catholic, I think you should start feeling some guilt about that 3:00 wake time.
Congrats to baby Charlotte, her big sis, and the whole fam! Wish I could have been there.
Lots of love!
Cherish this. It is not often we have moments so special. You all look great. Dierdre, you are so blessed to have an incredible mom and sister, and Ella and Charlott (no matter how tired and grumpy they can get...)are equally blessed to have a mother and dad like you and JD. I hope your surgery (whatever it was for) went well and that you are healing well.
Love you all,
Debbie
