Beautiful Airawen Gets Baptized

October 12, 2008 Airawen Alexandra got baptized.

She as happy and calm through the whole ceremony and everyone said how beautiful she looked in her dress.

Matt Blazer's, (the man holding Arie Alex in this picture) daughter, Caroline, was baptized in the same dress.  It has hand made by Caroline's grandmother and on loan to us.  Since Airawen is seven months old, she as too big for all the family baptism gowns that have been passed down in Tim's family.

Our friend Amy Darr took pictures for us during the ceremony.  Thanks Amy!

This might be our first family picture since Easter.

It was an amazingly warm day so we spent much of the day in the back yard.  I love our back yard!

Arie Alex loved Great Granny's bracelet.

It was a great day! At the end of it, we sat down and played with the turtle that projects stars on the walls and ceiling, a gift from Grandma Heath.  

Thank you to all our friends and family who helped us celebrate the baptism of our daughter.  You mean so much to us and we are blessed to have you in our life.

Arie Alex: 3 Months Old

So here is the sweet 3 month old, Airawen Alexandra. No official photo shoot this time, mamma is tired, and swamped, but I got these shots in last weekend. She is our little Cards fan already!

Airawen's First Trip to the Lake

We went to the Lake for Memorial Day weekend with Tim's parents.  It was Airawen's first time on the water.  She did great on the boat, and loved the one-on-one time with Grandma Bonnie and Grandpa Frank.

Here is our future wake boarder in her little surf girl suit.  She looks thrilled, right?

Hanging with Grandpa, looking out at the water and the boats.  (Thanks to Charlotte Horn for loaning this perfect "weekend away", strawberry onesie.)

It rained most of the weekend, but we got to see this perfect whole rainbow. 

It was even a double rainbow for a while.  So amazing, I don't think I've seen a whole rainbow before.

Tim got to wake board a little bit, play some golf with Frank, and Bonnie and got some great shopping in.  Can't wait to go back.  The Lake is a magical place that is good for the soul.  Thanks to Bonnie and Frank for sharing it with us so generously!
