My sister, Mary, aka "Tooty" is coming to visit this weekend and meet her newest niece, Sophia Kathryn! We are all so excited to see her, especially Cameron and Charlie. They just adore her and love spending time with her, so it will be great to have her here for a few days. She is also going to be Sophie's godmother for her baptism this Sunday, so we're very thrilled she was able to come home for it. We don't get to see Tooty as much as we'd like since she lives in NYC, but at least we have a fun place to visit if we want to see her...hopefully I will get there this winter sometime and maybe next summer we can take the boys to a Yankee game...they are dying to go, especially with a new stadium being built!
Sophie got baptized yesterday and was very good during the whole service and never cried! There were two other baby girls being baptized also and the female pastor conducted it, so it was an all girl gathering, which was so cute when she said, "let's welcome these daughters into our congregation!" My sister, Tooty, was Sophie's sponsor and they even matched wearing shades of purple! We found Sophie's adorable bow over the weekend that went perfectly with her dress. After the service, everyone came to our house for lunch and spent most of the day outside, since the weather was in the 80's! It was all in all a beautiful day for our precious little girl!
We had a great time with Aunt Tooty here this past weekend. Her and Grandma Karen came Friday night and stayed until Sunday night. We enjoyed their cooking, company and just hanging out! Friday night we girls watched the movie "Sex and the City" and went shopping, of course, most of the day on Saturday. Then on Saturday night we all went and met Uncle Mike, Aunt Diane and Aunt Mary at the "N-Zone" for a little NE Football Tailgating. Cameron and Charlie thought it was sooo cool seeing all of the Husker fans and madness that they want to go and do it again next weekend! Sophie already experienced her first Husker tailgating and all of the college girls were falling all over her! We were all extremely sad seeing Grandma and Tooty leave after days of family fun. We can't wait for Tooty to come back for xmas...luckily it is just around the corner!
