Happy 1st Birthday Sawyer!

Sawyer covered with cake and frosting. What you can't see is the brick of cake in his right hand that contributed to his messy smile.

It's the Great Pumpkin, Finnegan Brown

I'm proud to say that this is the second pumpkin in our pumpkin crop this year.

Finn LOVES pumpkins so the whole growing experience has been immensely exciting.

Did you miss Sawyer's Baptism?

We hosted just the immediate family for Sawyer's baptism on June 6th, though many friends and neighbors also got to witness the event as it was done during a regular mass. If you didn't get to see it, here are the high points summed up in less than 30 seconds.

Jason will ask me to remind you that Sawyer is wearing the family baptismal gown (NOT A DRESS!). As I buckled Sawyer into his car seat that June Sunday morning (not easy to do with the lace and the ribbons and gobs of fabric), Finn leaned over and said, "Sawyer is a girl." I then gently reminded that he wore that gown too.
