If you want an experience...Go to a Buffett Concert

(To quote "Knocked up") Dad and I have been trying to go to Jimmy Buffett Concerts for as long as we have dated (oh about 11 years or so ago). The whole point of going to a Jimmy Buffett Concert is not the concert itself but the wonderful tailgating beforehand. We had the chance to have Grandpa and Grandma P watch the children while we enjoyed a day of festivities with our friends CHristy, Lisa and Matt as well as many many many Parrotheads!!!

The NJ Invasion

Not meant as a scary invasion or anything...

LV and Nicole's grandparents from NJ arrived for Nicole's baptism and since we needed some sitters for the Jimmy Buffett Concert and Lila's wedding, they agreed graciously to come to Georgia to watch the kids. Even though we were all in the same house for a week, it felt like we never saw that with all the activities going on all week. The kids and grandparents did make it to the aquarium. I've posted some pictures on the right hand side there for everyone to enjoy....

Nicole's Baptism

Nicole's Baptism:

We gathered up the families this weekend to share with us a special moment in Nicole's life - her baptism into the Church. LV had been baptized by Lou's cousin, Fr. Louis Papera and I had always wanted my second child to be baptized by my dear high school friend and classmate, Fr. David Oldham. Fr. Oldham and I go wayyyyy back - 1st grade! We have remained close friends since and I had the opportunity 5 years ago to attend his ordination into the Holy Orders of Priesthood. Fr. Dave agreed to come out and baptize Nicole. And we were blessed to have so many friends and family join us on that very special (and very hot) day. We met on Saturday morning for the Baptism then headed back to our house for lunch. We had 25 people total which was a perfect crowd. I have attached some photos from some family members, our camera and friend's that captured the moment. Enjoy!!!!
