Chase's Christening

Chase was christened today...

 Christening

Julie and Chase

 Rich, Julie, Brynn, Kate, and Chase

...and the whole family was at the church to share the joy.

Amy. Greg, Matthew, Alex and Gregory

Scott, Crystal and Bryce

Kate and Brynn looked so cute...

And then...

         ...back to Richard and Julie's to celebrate the day.



Most of us started inside, but that didn't last long...

Bryce and the dreaded cracker pose

Wiffleball was the game of the day for most...

Bryce looks like a hitter

Big ol' reach but.... 

There he is on 2nd base... ready to go!

Matthew's up to send that run home!

A lot of laughing going on in this game!

Alex is so tricky that he can pitch..

and then grab the bat and hit his own pitch!

(okay.. .okay... not buying it, eh?

Richard started off pitching but the pillar on the porch blocked the picture of him sooooo

here he is at the plate

Two pitchers??

Okay... Greg can pitch

Scott will catch.

Matthew decided to take a break with molly

(or Molly decided to take advantage of Matthew's break)

Gregory was the silent observer

And it was my job to observe Gregory

It was Brynn's job to bounce..

and bounce... and bounce

(in pearls)

... and to have lunch with Amy

Sweet Kate...

... with a furrowed brow

... and her extraordinary "Kate hair" - so beautiful!

If there's anything better than family, I don't know what it is.

God bless Chase on his christening day... 

     and God bless the family that I love so very much.
