Matthew's Christening

Last Sunday was Matthew's Christening (baptism for those of us who aren't Catholic). It ended up being a very good day. Matthew behaved during the entire event, Christopher behaved himself...even without a nap...my mom, Stephanie, was in town for the event, my Uncle Mike and Aunt Debbie were in the area from Alaska (not for the Christening, mind you, but they took time out of their schedule to come nonetheless), and, of course, Colleen's family and our friends made the day almost complete.


Unfortunately, we lost Colleen's father the weekend prior to Matthew's Christening. Bob had fought leukemia for 2 years, and it had finally got the better of him. Although he wasn't there in body, he was there in spirit and his presence was felt by all.
