Baptisim

On Sunday April 28, 2013 Hudson Michael and Hadley Rose were baptized into the Catholic faith. We thank God everyday for these two little miracles he has blessed our lives with and we look forward to teaching Hudson and Hadley all about God's love and what it means to be a Christian. We choose 4 very special people in our lives who share our same faith and are going to help be role models for Hudson and Hadley. We were so happy that they were eager to accept this responsibility. The babies behaved really well during mass and my mom did and awesome job on hosting their luncheon afterwards. Thank you to all our friends and family who helped to make this a very special day.

Their baptism outfits were made by Brian's Aunt Gerri from Pat's wedding dress I think they turned out beautiful. And now we will have them to pass around and down to other babies in the family.

Our First Trip to Louisville in May

When the babies were just shy of two months old we went to Louisville for two weeks. They experienced lots of firsts on this trip. Pat, aka Grandmom, flew with us on their first airplane ride from Baltimore to Louisville while daddy drove. They were so good on the airplane and hardly made a peep. We looked at this as a trial run for our much longer airplane ride to L.A. It was also their first time meeting most of their extended family and friends, getting baptized into the Catholic church, and their first Oaks and Derby weekend parties but definitely not the last. This post has a lot of pictures because I probably could have written several posts but I just put it all in one because I just have no time these days :)

Another first but this one was for me it was my first Mother's Day. I am so lucky to be a Mom to these two sweet beautiful babies. Everybody tells you how you never knew you could love someone so much and once I experienced being a Mom I knew just what they were talking about.

Pat and I took two days to drive back to Maryland and this was their first night in a hotel.
