The baptism ceremony went really well. Elizabeth was a champ, Suzanne didn't cry when the Holy Water bathed her head, and we were surrounded by family. Godfather Michael even got Suzanne a beautiful white-gold cross on a fine chain.
Afterward, we had a part at Hilltop Court with Barb's uncles and aunts, cousins, and their kids. Elizabeth particularly enjoyed seeing Nicholas again. He's more than a year older than her, but they liked playing when last they saw each other in March, and again this time.
We also enjoyed seeing Addison as a big girl (19 months!) walking and talking, and Bella, who looks like a Renaissance painting of an angel, curly haired and cherubic. Just beautiful.
Elizabeth was a bit clingy to Daddy, recognizing, I think, that all the hub-bub was about her little sister. She was well-behaved though. Unfortunately, having awoken (with Daddy) at 10:00am local time, she wasn't asleep until 11:00pm. D'oh!
The funniest part of the party was the cake which, if you look carefully at the photo, says, "God Bless Susan."
Here's Nicholas and Elizabeth playing in the side yard.
We got an unexpected visit from Cathy Crisci, our old friend who now lives in the city!
Addison is a bubble-blowing prodigy!
