Gail and the new pre-schooler

A few minutes before the second day of school

We tried on various hats at BRU . . .

From the look on his face, this was his favorite

One of the official greeters at the front door!

Haylie enjoyed helping construct the Halloween House. The sugar buzz from those bits and pieces of sweet stuff lasted for hours.

The finished product!

A wild ride!

You've heard of "Up the Down Staircase"?

Ian gave it his best try but could not crawl up the slide

"I'm coming through" and he certainly did crawl all around and up and down that playground equipment

Ian shows that he is as much a sport as his sister (don't miss the hat!)

Noah's had a magnificent rock ledge display with all kinds of wild animals and birds

Today is Ian's Baptism day. Family and friends gathered to celebrate. Here, Aunt Jo and Ian pause at the back of the church before Mass

This little boy was so good during the Mass and baptism ceremony. He never let out a cry even when water was poured on his head.

Father Joe of Holy Family Church prays at the start of Ian's baptism. Although the baptismal tub is big, Ian was not dunked, just sprinkled.

Just before the holy oil. (Notice the look alike hair styles on father and son!)

Oma congratulates Ian after the ceremony

Haylie was all dressed up for the occasion.

Big girl cousin, Hannah knows jsut how to amuse a little boy.

Ian bites the pink dragon thingy . . .

. . . and the pink dragon bites him back!

OOOHHHHH, did I break this?

Great cake, Ian.

I'm headed to the kitchen for a piece of cake
