Baptisms
We got the trips baptized yesterday, January 28th! We had it scheduled for last Sunday, January 21st, but had to postpone due to weather-- THANK YOU everyone for rescheduling, it really meant a lot to have you all there. I have to say, I was very pleasantly surprised at how well the trips did in church- both girls slept during mass & Austen played on Kim's lap & then ate his bottle. No one cried during the baptisms either- yeah!! By the end, during pictures, poor Brooklen had had enough, she was hungry & thrown off schedule & Austen was tired! But, they were good in church & during the baptisms.... 2 out of 3 ain't bad =) (Caitlen, Austen & Brooklen)
I didn't go all out with the fancy baptism outfits- they are expensive!! So, we just got all white sleep type outfits & then I found the cutest hats & booties for the girls with fur trim- super cute.

Austen's Godparents are Dusty (D.J.'s brother) & Traci (family friend, Traci was unable to make it, she lives in Denver, but was definitely there in spirit- miss ya Trac)

Caitlen's Godparents are Kim & Joe Raso (my sister & brother-in-law)

Brooklen's Godparents are Jenni & Tad Benesh (my sister & brother-in-law)

baptisms were great - thank you for having us be Caitlen's Godparents - we are very honored. BTW - she is so darn cute in that picture of the three of them!! They are all cute - but I think that Caitlen 'knows' the camera is for her when she sees it!! :)
