World Champs! Go Pack Go!

So, I did the best I could. It's been one full week since the Packers became World Champions! After an awesome morning of Levi being baptized, the celebrating continued and the family got in the festive mood to support our Green Bay Packers!

Everyone dressed for the occasion...

... and I mean everyone!

Our friends the W's hosted a Super Bowl party and it was quite the event! Everyone was excited to meet the newest member of the family and the party delivered on all the excitement we could have imagined!

There was great food!

Great seating for the game!

Great uhh... laying for the game?

Even a cute puppy to play with during the commercials!

Everything one could hope for at that party! Even soft stairs to practice climbing!

There were also friends to share in the excitement and cheering the pack on!

Friends that shared in cheering the pack AND climbing the stairs!

...but mostly excited to cheer on the pack!

There's nothing like sharing in the excitement of a Green Bay Packer Super Bowl win with your favorite little family members!

Especially when they are so willing to partake in giving high fives and cheering for the new World Champs!

The only thing that could possibly rival that excitement and fun in regards to the Pack and family...

Is someday being able to tell your son about his 5 day old experience with Mommy and Daddy!



Whether he slept through most of it or not...  :-)

Go Pack!

A Good Reason to Gather

As I mentioned in one of my previous posts this week, Sunday was a pretty happy day. Good friends of the Z's, the Radliffs, had three little souls baptized! Three! Attending the baptism of 3 people at one time is a first for me and certainly is unlikely to be beat since I knew all 3 pretty well also! Unless I have any friends expecting triplets in the future? Anybody?

While Kathleen and I are glad to be able to encourage spiritual growth for all 3 of the little stinkers... we were specifically asked to be godparents to the little guy you see above. That bald little booger is Davin... the bald one on the left. (I'm sorry. :) I just couldn't resist, Jay.) Here he is held by proud daddy Jason. Jason is a good friend of mine and a family man in pretty much every sense of the word. Good company for a new daddy like me to keep, eh?

Here is the whole family with (from the left) Patty, Davin, Lilly, Jason, & Kastan. Certainly a squirrely bunch when it comes to picture taking! I snapped about 9 pics and this is the closest I got to everyone looking forward and smiling! LOL! Man, I can't wait for those upcoming days...

One little guy seemed to be able to smile, or laugh, on demand. Kathleen mentioned that it was great that he was so willing to be tickled into photographic compliance.

Although, to be honest, smiles weren't too hard to come by that day... Here are two beautiful smiles that I am particularily fond of!
