Introducing Brendan

This past weekend we went to visit David and Sandi and Matthew to meet and baptize the newest member of their family, little baby Brendan. Patrick was quite taken with Brendan--as was I--and it was no wonder because Brendan is SO FLIPPIN' CUTE!!! He is the best little baby, I swear...he is probably the closest anyone will ever come to making me want to have another child, but alas...his superpowers fell just short of that. But I did have the best time holding him and snuggling him.

Sandi's mom and sister were able to come for the weekend too, so here we all are after church. (From left to right) Sandi holding Matthew, her sister Kara, David holding Brendan, Luke looking thrilled as ever to have his picture taken, me, the priest who did the baptism, Gigi holding Ben, Grandpa, Grandma Jules (Sandi's mom) and Patrick in front.

It was a whirlwind weekend, although we did add a day so it wouldn't be quite as hectic as it was when we went to baptize Matthew three years ago. We had a great time, though--the big boys never stopped. It was all trains and baseball and crazy the whole weekend. Next time we see them all will be at the beach in July! Only three months--woohoo!
