Levi's Baptism

 Well, it's Levi's big day! He looks like he can't wait.

 So excited...

 Getting in our car seat...

 Ok, we can leave.

Grampa looks excited too.

 A few pictures with Pastor Tim before the ceremony.

 Grampa is admiring Tony's pants...

 Two Tonys and a Paul

 Getting final instructions from our friend, Denise.

 Tony will be videotaping.

(Levi has the cutest shirt on, it's actually a white t-shirt with a tie sewn to the front.)

 Levi loves Tony's beard,

and Gramma's kisses.

 Awww....

 A few group shots.

 Levi is a cuddler.

 Tony and Levi having fun.

 Levi's Godparents, Jenny and Brandon Hulway and their sons, Luke and Jacob.

 Our families filled this section of the theater.

Gathering on the stage.

 I loved the picture Carla and Mike picked for the screen.

 Levi didn't seem to mind his "bath" at all.

Notice the bare feet.

 Katie and Paul...just hanging.

 Yum. Back to Carla and Mike's for lunch. We had bread bowls, soup, chili, and fruit.

 Tony is enjoying Eric and his son, Evan.

 Playing Pass the Baby...

 I love this picture of Levi with his Gramma.

 Trying to take a picture of squirly boys...

Levi, Evan, and Levi's second cousin, Jacob. (Luke joins in too)

Regen

Tony recently taught Regen to catch a frisbee.

He was pretty excited and couldn't wait to show me what she could do.

Regen certainly loves to play and she is fast.

Flowers

 I received beautiful flowers for Mother's Day this year. As it's almost the end of the season and there is frost in the air, I wanted to share some pictures before they are gone.

 I always choose annuals. This year I picked pink and purple.

 I don't know a lot about flowers but I was lucky in my picks this year. The purple ones grew really tall and I cut them back quite often. Lately I'm just letting them grow.

 I have to thank Carla for going to the nursery with me to pick them out and a big thanks to Helmut for watering them when I'm traveling.

I'm going to miss this batch but I look forward to next spring.
