Warren's Baptism

On March 5th we had baby Warren baptised at the same church I was raised and raised my children. The same pastor that baptised me, my brother, sister, and two daughters baptised little Warren Stowe. I had to fight back tears. My mother, Nana the Great, prepared a wonderful dinner afterwards and a few friends and family attended.

Great Aunt Pat with Warren

He's really growing up fast!

Auntie Tylerann loaned Warren some cool new toys. You can see they were an immediate hit!

Boing! Boing!

Poker Night

They wont let him deal. Something about the cards getting sticky. Oh but he's a fast learner!

These really need some ranch dip.

Update (and it's about time)

Some sad news first. Alligator was eaten by crickets. Yes, they finally got to him again and there was nothing I could do this time. RIP. Dust Bunny chewed his way out of the top of his habitat and found the pantry. He's now pinned to a mousetrap outside in my garbage can. RIP.

Now the good news. Mid January my husband had back surgery for a herniated disk and is recovering well. We managed to stay out of each other's way for the five weeks he was home and now he's happily back at work again. Speaking of hubby's work, last weekend was the kick off dinner for the second half of the sales contest. Hubby met the quota for the fall contest and if he meets it this spring we'll qualify for the trip to Puerto Rico! Whoo hoo! I can't wait! WOnt know for sure until something like july or August. Trip will likely be in October in the heat of hurricane season as usual.

Laura finally moved out! Ha ha. I try not to show my elation so much in front of her. She and Lando rented an apartment together just about Sarah and Ricky and Baby Warren. Now they share Saturday morning breakfast and a vacuum. It's really nice having them in the same place and they aren't but a few blocks from me.

Ms. Carol's been working hard this year too. I started a diet, my own version of the low carb diets that are so popular, and have lost 20.5 pounds! WOW! (50 to go) I began January 3rd and it took me 15 days to lose the first ten pounds, six weeks to lose the next ten but I'm still losing. Oh yeah, I've added Hot-Rox to try to speed it up a bit. I'll let you kow if it works. I've spent oodles of money on all kinds of diet pills that didn't work. We'll see how this goes. Sure gives me energy though.
