Emma's Baptism

Emma was baptized this weekend at Christ the Redeemer Catholic Church with all her family around to witness.  She did really good. Here our some photos that show the event-----

Before hand Emma wearing her gown.  She wore a gown that is a family heirloom and everyone that had worn it has their name monogrammed on the back.

You can read Emma and Anna (our cousin) names

The Godparents--Chris Gomez and Amy Badger

Emma getting the holy water--she fussed a little but overall she did really well.  Ryan was a little concerned at what we were doing to her!!

Another photo from the event all of us at the front of the church.  

Overall it was a great day that I have lots of photos from.  Its more of a memory for us because I know Emma will never remember. Thanks to all who came and supported our family. 

The Zoo

We went to the zoo yesterday and had sooo much fun.  It was Ryan's second time and Emma's first.  Ryan really liked it this time-- he has a love for animals! 

The limo stroller with both kids and packed down with food and diapers. (That way you dont spend a million dollars on zoo food!)

Taking a break and having a snack, we actually were watching helicopters come and go from Hermann hospital

One of our favorite monkeys.  I really enjoyed using my new camera and trying out all the features. (I got a fancy digital camera for Christmas from Mike--hence I am in no photos!!)

A look of "wow" another animal

Emma she held Rufus mostly and dozed in and out!!

The Lion--Jonathon-- Ryan loved to roar at him!!

Well that about sums up our day, we are zoo members and I think this trip made it all worth it.  Ryan loved it, it was a beautiful day and it really didnt cost much since the zoo membership pays for itself after a few visits!!
