Then and Now

Brian and I celebrated our 2nd Anniversary this weekend along with Allison's Baptism. When choosing the date for her baptism, I thought there would be no better way to celebrate our anniversary than to stand at the same altar where we were married and have our daughter baptised.

We also got to celebrate our annivesary by ourselves. We decided that it would be a fun tradition to go wine tasting for our anniversary, so last weekend I surprised Brian by having my parents come up on Sunday to babysit Allison so we could go out for a bit (thanks Mom and Dad!!) We drove down to Coloma, near St. Joseph and visited two wineries, plus a cider mill. Even though the weather was deary and raining, it was a very relaxing afternoon.

This Saturday, we drove to Flint to have family pictures taken of all the grand kids. My mom drove back with us and babysat Allison so we could go out to dinner. Because we got up so early, we could only muster up enough energy for dinner and the mall even mom encouraged us to go to the movies (and we barely made it through the mall.)

On Sunday, the baptism went well. The weather was gorgeous. We stopped off at Aquinas College where we took some of our wedding pictures two years ago. After church we hosted a small luncheon at a neighborhood pizza place. With just the immediate family we took up almost the entire restaurant. At a time like this, I wish I could magically add a family room onto our house to host family parties.
