Baptism

Regina was baptized on August 14th. Grammie made the trip from Michigan. Uncle (Old) Joe, Aunt Katie and cousins Will, Lizzie and Anna came over from the Philadelphia area. Aunt Mary Pat and Uncle Alan (Godparents) drove in from Michigan and Gramma Egan and Tom stopped by on their way to Michigan.

We had a fun-filled weekend with everyone. We grilled, played in the yard, swam at the hotel, took in a ballgame and had a great time visiting.

Grammie and the girls. Regina is on your left, Anna on the right.

Anna (left) and Regina being squirmy and ruining all chances for a super-cute (and clear) picture. ;-)

Lizzie...eating....again. How she is so so petite I'll never know.

Will, who was a bit under the weather, but did humor his Auntie Ck by taking some Goldfish crackers. Poor baby!

Blessing:

Everyone (parents, Godparents and siblings) were asked to put a hand on Regina as she was being baptized. You'll notice Drew plugging his ears. He does this when he is nervous or unsure. Gabe was thrilled with the whole thing!

Aunt Mary Past drying off Regina's head (and face!). Monsignor Mazur really doused her. Other than a tiny squeak of displeasure Regina slept through the whole thing.

Getting ready for the anointing with oil. Monsignor doesn't hold back with the chrism oil!

Regina being introduced and presented to the congregation.

After the mass, Rob and I each received a blessing. Knowing our three older kids the way he does, they received a blessing as well. Gabe LOVES being blessed.

How many pictures can one Egan child or another ruin?

Looks like Caroline wins the prize this time.

"That's all folks. There's nothing more to see here. Move along now."
