The parents/Godparents and Lucy, of course! I have yet to actually take a picture holding her where I don't look terrified, but I have big plans for the future as there will be lots of Sissa/Lucy times!
This baby was so perfect and slept the entire time so we all got to hear the prayers and really focus on what was happening. Very cool! I love how excited Clare is in this picture! I am so honored to officially be a part of Lucy's family :)
Festivities after the baptism included a little hang out time for 2 besties!We exist!! Am I tilting my head in hopes that it will make me appear slimmer? I am not sure. Love Clare's furry daughter, Bean, stealing the show in the picture, too!
A little t-ball practice with dad.
I am not sure if you knew, but Anderson sort of likes green...right. Was this holiday made for us, or what?? He had a green shirt (thanks, GG!), green shoes, green patch, green glasses, green antennae thing, green fruit bar, green juice box, green underwear and was totally stressed because he did not have green pants. We made a green cake and green jello and he totally pinched people who were not in green. We even went to the green grocery store (Publix) where he yelled from the cart, "Excuse me, why are you not wearing green?" to random people as I tried to shush him. Hilarious.Uncle Austin went to mass with us and we convinced him to tag along with us to the zoo!
The first animal he wanted to see was the snakes. He was SO excited about them and was totally disappointed that he couldn't touch them. **Can anyone else visit the snakes and not think about Harry Potter busting out the snake when he got to tag along to the zoo??**
Someone.is.getting. fat.
I love our zoo because of the animals, the kids' area...
and, mostly because of these goats. I am seriously obsessed with them. I found a pregnant one!! (*disclaimer: I really mostly love the zoo because teachers get in free, but the goats are really a close second)
Uncle Austin had his first goat brushing experience. Life changing.
To complete the day our friend Tess came over to dye eggs with us and eat green cake. Anderson was NOT remotely interested in dyeing eggs. Like at all. I did have to write "Heroes in a halfshell, Turtle Power" on one, but mostly he just wanted to play in the water.
Good times.


I love that you are now officially stuck with our family! Could not have picked a better godmom. Seriously. And his face in that last picture is precious!!! Love him and love his obsession with green!
ReplyDeleteI seriously don't get the whole egg-dying thing either......my kids don't really like it. And it makes a mess. WHY waste the eggs?!?! ;)
ReplyDeleteAnd you look so sweet in those pictures w/ your goddaughter!!! I love the one w/ all of you holding her. And hey, does tilting your head really make your look skinnier (*filing that away for future reference*). I think you look GREAT. Seriously, so cute
So cute! Anderson and green just go together. (I am picturing green tuxedos for prom...) And I totally think of Harry Potter in the snake house too. You need to come to St. Louis. The zoo is free everyday for everyone! Seriously, almost everything is free in St. Louis (Science Center, Zoo, Art Museum, History Museum)...but I digress.
ReplyDeleteLooks like you had a wonderful St. Patty's day!
Anderson at Publix yelling at people!?!? Why did not you not tell me that story, yet? Um, Excuse me...
ReplyDeleteWhy do you love the goats so much? I am curious. Am I missing something?
HAHAHA! "Why are you not wearing green?" Totally hilarious!! Maybe we should call St. Patricks Day, Anderson Day. :) You obviously need to buy the poor neglected boy green pants. hahaha
ReplyDeleteObviously the head tilt totally worked, you look AMAZING! (I imagine though that you just look great and it has nothing to do with the tilt.) :D The frog at the zoo does look a little fat though. ;)
Egg dye... It should be done in the bath tub. haha Very brave of you there.
I was not buying a green maternity shirt for one day, but did have green earrings in...so it sort of counted.
ReplyDeleteThe goats are amazing.
