Baptism and Marion- June.

On Suday, we headed to Archbold to welcome the newest member of St. Peter's Catholic Church.

Oliver was very pleased to see his sister baptised.

Believe it or not, all the kids lined up for a picture. Well, almost all the kids. Andy is somewhere outside the shot. We're very glad to say that all 11 kids behaved wonderfully during Mass. Except that Oliver tried to climb the stairs to the alter when his mom and dad went up for the CCD teacher presentation. And I growled so much, they had to plug me up with my nuk.

All 7 cousins looking in the same direction and 6 of them smiling. (Thanks for nothing, Tessa. Tessa did show her skills later when mama was changing Tessa's diaper, Tessa farted twice and then smiled at mama because even she knows farts are funny.)

Uncle Kevin and Aunt Elizabeth were joined by Tessa's godparents Kim and JJ Meyer.

Here's Tessa and her mom and dad.

Back at the house, Oliver watched all the other kids make a huge mess.

At naptime, we all jumped in the car and headed down to the Cooper's. Henry had to talk to papa about all the latest happenings in NFL Sunday football.

After a messy biter biscuit, I was stripped down to nothing and Aunt Katie gave me a push in the swing.

I loved it! Push my higher, big brother!

Then Henry took his turn and asked Uncle Adam to give him a big push.

Henry took Sadie for a ride in the car. It was the perfect size for her, especially since there was a bottom panel so her sweet little feet couldn't touch the ground.

Then I was stripped down even more for a bath! Check out that cellulite.

The thing with cousins is that eventually you always end up in a bath with them. Sadie and I did pretty good in the tub, except that it is pretty slippery and we both wanted to crawl.
