Connor's baptism

This Sunday was a special day. Connor was baptised in Charlestown and I was so happy to be asked to be his Godmother. The baptism itself was very nice and Connor was a complete angel. He slept and cuddled all the way through it. Pip and Vivie had brought their "quiet boxes" which mostly kept them busy ... at least when they weren't climbing all over Phil adorning him with necklaces and sequined headbands (Vivie).

I didn't get any pics from the ceremony itself, but Mr. Chase got many of his own and maybe I'll be able to snag one or two from him.

Afterwards we did some playing at the Navy Yard ... on the anchors:





And in the park -- NO SNOW!!

Lastly we had a wonderful dinner ... where Katie sat Phil, Tom, and Jon at the kid's table with Pip, Viv, and Chase. Obviously, they had their hands full. There were two highlights for me -- one was when Pip spilled his glass of water and Chase was so truly and sincerely impressed and excited about this that he literally high-fived him and went over to every adult to tell them how Pip just spilled his water -- wasn't that awesome!!!! Second was how all the kids bonded with Tom so quickly. He was clearly a natural with kids and instead of stewing over being sat with the kids, rolled with the punches and talked Star Wars with a stuffed seal on his head throughout the dinner. Great to see him, sorry we missed Allison and their kids. They all but blocked his departure, poking and harassing him as he tried to leave the restaurant.
