Lucas's Baptism

Mattey and I were honored today to be Lucas's godparents and participate in his baptism. We feel very special to have been chosen! Thank you for asking us Matt and Stacey. Both Mattey and I and Nate and Diane were able to share the privilege of godparents. We started the day by attending mass and welcoming Lucas into the Catholic faith. I have said this before, but it feels so good to be part of a family who all practices their faith together. The baptism went well. Father basically gave Lucas a full bath with the amount of water he used. Most of it went on Lucas's face, and although it looked like he would cry, he was a tough little man and didn't make a fuss. Afterward, we went back to Matt and Stacey's for a small gathering to celebrate Lucas's special day. It was a very nice way to spend a Sunday.

The rest of our weekend was pretty low key for Kelsey and I. Mattey on the otherhand has been going nonstop since Friday. He left Friday after school for a baseball clinic and didn't return until Saturday just in time to go to the boy's basketball game. The game was at 7:00 which is close to Kelsey's bedtime, so we weren't sure if she would last too long. However, she surprised us and did very well! She stared at the cheerleaders and clapped with them. She even yelled "Go Huskies!" It wasn't until the last few minutes that she got antsy. Not bad! Following all the baptism stuff today, Mattey had to run a baseball clinic for elementary students. Throw in a change of the clocks to spring ahead, and I think I am going to have one tired hubby who still has master's work to do tonight.
On a side note, the weather here today was beautiful! A lot of our snow melted and we can see grass in most of our yard. Bring on spring! I think we are all SO ready!
