Avery Grace's Baptism

Today was Avery's baptism.  It was a small event with a few family members but it was full of the important ones.  We went to church where PJ performed the service and then we had cake.  Rosie made the cake and it was amazing.  We were the communion assistants today so that made it even more special.  Jen is the godmother and Alec is the godfather, both great choices.

Happy New Year

May you get a clean bill of health from your dentist, your cardiologist, your gastroenterologist, your urologist, your proctologist, your podiatrist, your psychiatrist, your plumber and the I.R.S.

May your hair, your teeth, your face-lift, your abs and your stocks not fall; and may your blood pressure, your triglycerides, your cholesterol, your white blood count and your mortgage interest not rise.

May New Year's Eve find you seated around the table, together with your beloved family and cherished friends. May you find the food better, the environment quieter, the cost much cheaper, and the pleasure more fulfilling than anything else you might ordinarily do that night.

May what you see in the mirror delight you, and what others see in you delight them. May someone love you enough to forgive your faults, be blind to your blemishes, and tell the world about your virtues.

May you remember to say "I love you" at least once a day to your spouse, your child, your parent, your siblings; but not to your secretary, your nurse, your masseuse, your hairdresser or your tennis instructor.

And may we live in a world at peace and with the awareness of God's love in every sunset, every flower's unfolding petals, every baby's smile, every lover's kiss, and every wonderful, astonishing, miraculous beat of our heart.

 

Yes, I stole this from the internet but I found it fits so well, I couldn't have said it better myself.  I just wish I could credit the author, whoever they are.
