Lucas' Baptism

Lucas was baptized Oct. 14 during the 8:00 Mass, we usually attend.  It went very well. He cooperated and was quiet for the ceremony.  Here's godfather, Eric Shook (Randy's littlest sister's husband), and godmother, Coco Jensen (Randy's sister, she's #8) and Randy holding Lucas and Kara. 

Here's our crew after the ceremony.  Alex, Kara holding Lucas, Randy, Timmy (in front of Kara), Henry, Max, and Sophia

What we've been up to

Aunt Coco and her daugher Kelli were Lucas' first out of state visitors. They got to NY Mon. (Oct 8) night. Coco kept very busy!  Taking the older kids out for haircuts, getting groceries, helping with Lucas' and the house!

My Aunt Eileen and Uncle Pat were the next to arrive, the very next day, which happened to be my birthday! We had a great visit, just hanging out and talking the day away.

Timmy and Uncle Eric.  Eric, Sara, Oliver, Parker, Julia,Grandma Steffen, and Aunt Kathy got to NY late Friday night. We all had breakfast together the next day.
