Bobbins took the girls to their first summer movie day at Harkins today.  Looked like a fun time...

Why We Don't Dress Up Anymore

Sensible explanation from blogger Jennifer Fulwiler:

I don't think that the social principle that you should dress up for what's important to you has changed since the 1950s; I think there's simply not that much that's important to us anymore. I wore faded jeans and a t-shirt the last time I went out to dinner, because it wasn't a big deal to me. As much as I hate to admit it, I wasn't that grateful to be able to be served dinner in a restaurant; it felt more like a right than an honor. However, if I got an invitation from Queen Elizabeth to join her at Buckingham Palace for tea tomorrow, you can bet that that outfit would be the furthest thing from my mind. We still dress up when we feel that an activity is an honor or a privilege.

JoJo's Actual Birthday

JoJo got a rough start to the morning of her actual birthday and wasn't very into the streamers her Mom put up for her to break through.

              

             

             
She was in better spirits by dinner time, buoyed by the prospect of cake

                

William's Baptism

The main reason for the CA trip in June was for our nephew William's baptism.  We were the godparents.

Proud parents Jessica and Mark.  They are doing quite well as a new family.



(No pic's of us because we didn't have anyone snap with our camera.)


This is a once in a lifetime occurrence!


Everyone gave Mark a hard time about his wild hair.




The men of the family, with Diablo doing his best impersonation of Mike.

(Needed to mess up his tie though.)




The granddaughters.





After the sacrament at the Church, we went to a nearby park to hang out and eat sandwiches.

            

            

           

Jessica, her dad Todd, and her sister Maggie.

Todd works for the San Diego Padres and got the official TV commentators to announce William's birth and full name along with Mark & Jess's during a TV broadcast.  It was pretty cool.  Mark has it on DVD.  William is their first grandchild.

Francis

Today was your due date.  It has been a long five months since you came "early."  We do not know God's plan for you but trust that His will was carried out.  We miss you terribly.  We loved you for who you were and wonder what you would have become.  Maybe someday we'll find out.

Chuck E Cheese Party

The Sat. in CA my mom and Coach threw JoJo a 2nd birthday party at Chuck E Cheese.  It turned out to be a pretty good time.  JoJo was a little overwhelmed by it all but Celly ate it up.

          

         

          

            

                 




It was her party, and she cried when she wanted to






           

           

          

           

This was a baby ergo, or one for the girls' dollies, which Celly took right to, but JoJo was happy to receive.
