Washin' Those Sins Away....

Catherine Hannah was baptized on Sunday, July 20th at Christ the King Church in Pleasant Hill. Despite some concerns, she slept through the entire event, not even blinking an eye as water was poured on her head! Scott had to do all the crying for her (: Here's some photos of the proud parents and Catherine's Godparents, Melissa Johnson and Matt Malone.

Good Morning, Sunshine!

With Catherine beginning to sleep through the night on a consistent basis, she wakes up refreshed and happy. Those first few minutes are some of our favorite moments of the day.

Summer Snoozing, Summer Fun

... Catherine Salutes You!

One Month!

Happy Birthday, Catherine! Today our little Cat is 1 month old and to celebrate, SHE decided to take her mom and dad to an A's game! A very welcome break from the heat, we made it to the Coliseum just into the first inning and stayed until the 7th inning stretch. Catherine was so excited about the whole thing that she just passed right out in the parking lot and didn't wake up until we got home! (A's won 3-2 in the 11th, making Catherine 1-0 lifetime in Games Attended) Both today and yesterday she hung out with her Grandma and Grandpa Drain and her Aunt Megan and cousin Elle. She's had a few other visitors over the last few weeks including Grandma and Grandpa Boland, David and Maggie Chiles, Bridget and Greg Manifold and her Aunt Crystal, Aunt Mary and Cousin Kay. All of these people have been giving her lots of snuggles and love. Next week: Aunt Missy, Uncle Rusty, Daniel and Aidan arrive!

Little Lady Elle takes some interest in her cousin's A's socks. Her cousin meanwhile is just too exhausted to even notice that her sock is about to go missing!

Firecrackers on the Fourth

Happy 4th of July! Yesterday was a great day of relaxing and hanging out with friends at the park and at our house for a BBQ. Catherine decided that it would also be nice to give us a break and had a lovely day minus her normal evening witching hour, which gave us both a night of needed rest. Catherine gets ready for Independence Day with a themed shirt which she decided to spit up on just after getting dressed! Catherine and her friend Jack Hoversen hang out in Todos Santos park and enjoy some smooth jazz. And no, they did not call one another in the morning to choose their outfits! Proud fathers do their best to embarrass their young children
