play time

Now that we have a crib for Annabelle, we can actually use the pack n' play as a playpen instead of a bassinet. Now that she's more mobile she's been enjoying playing on her own more.

Uncle Mark's Visit

This past weekend John's brother Mark came to visit from Arkansas. We had a nice time hanging out and relaxing...





And Mark drove out the crib that he made for his kids. We're really excited that Annabelle gets to use it. Thanks Mark!

Here're a few more pictures of when Bridget and James were here last week (James from New York and Bridget from Sioux Falls). And of course we miss them already!

Annabelle's Baptism

Annabelle was baptised on Sunday, on Pentecost, at Grace Cathedral in San Francisco. It was a really special day, and we felt blessed to have her godparents, friends, and family with us to celebrate. You can listen to the service, which will be online throughout the week.

Here're some pictures from the day (thanks Mom!). Annabelle is wearing her Great Grandmother's baptism gown, the same gown that I wore when I was baptised.

And a big Happy Birthday to Mike!
