Baptism

Delaney was baptized on July 25th, 2010 at St. Joseph's parish in Grafton. It was a really beautiful service and she did pretty good. It was really warm in the church because the air conditioning was not on. The church does a full emersion baptism, so she was brought out in her birthday suit and wrapped up in a big towel. She did manage to pea on my dress while I was holding her before she went in the baptismal fountain. She screemed through the fountain part but once that was done I was able to dry her off and then put her in her baptismal gown, which was the one that I was baptized in at the very same church. My brother Tony and his wife Genell are her Godparents. My Mom was able to fly in from Florida to be here so we asked her to read from the scripture during the service.Once again we were surrounded by family and friends who came over to our place after the ceremony for some food & treats. We had beautiful weather and it was a great time.

4th of July

Summer has been so busy!!
Cody is finally done with lacrosse! He has been having a great summer going to Florida for a week with his Papa & Grandma & his cousisns. Since he's been home he's been a permanent fixture at the Grafton pool. He is really awesome with Delaney. He makes sure to give her a kiss goodbye, goodnight, and hello everytime. He holds her and feeds her often. When she wakes up and cries during the day, he will pick her up and comfort her...it's so sweet!! He's trying not to think about starting high school in about a month..hee hee hee!

Delaney is just about 2 months old now (8 weeks). She goes in this week for her 2 month check up and shots (that should be fun). She's really getting big and is doing great! She is sleeping through the night, anywhere from 7 to 8 hours :) She really focuses in on things and is starting to smile. I love how she looks for me when she hears my voice when someone else is holding her.

Joe is back to work, but just got a new job at St. Mary's Ozaukee which is so much closer to home. He's not back to school yet, but that will come soon enough. He had a very good Father's day. We had gone by my Uncle Bob's house for my cousin Ryan's graduation party & had a great time there. My Grandpa Rieck was there and got a chance to hold Delaney for the first time. My maternity leave from school is over and I am back in class (yuck)! This is one of the three I have left before graduation. It is challenging to get any homework done and to focus with a baby at home, but Joe is so supportive so I'm able to manage.

The 4th of July, Delaney was a month old. We had a great time at the park and fireworks with my brother and his family. Cody had a good time with his friend & cousin. Delaney did great! The first firework that went off, she opened her eyes as big as saucers & then closed them again & slept through the rest of them. We're all doing good and enjoying the summer!!
