Summer Fun

We have had such a wonderful week! I had to share a few pictures of our family fun. I signed the kids up for the Summer Reading Program.  The triplets love going to the library, and they LOVE being read to.  Will prefers to go across the hall to the community center, but he likes the library, too.  I am usually able to coax him into the library by taking him directly to the books about sports.
Will passed an exciting milestone, he checked out his own books for the first time without Mom's help! I gave him his library card, he waited in line, gave the librarian his card, and checked out his books by himself while I looked for books for the triplets.  He was very proud of his accomplishment.  He told me he would now like to carry his own wallet with his own library card.
We are also spending a lot of time playing outside in the front and back yard, and at the park.  They cannot get enough of being outside! I am going to need to buy stock in sunblock!

Baptism

When the babies were in the NICU they were baptized with the intention that we would have them formally baptized with the anointing with oil when they were well enough to be home.  We decided it was time, and had all four of our children baptized on Sunday May 29th!  On Saturday night my mom, dad, sister, brother and Uncle travelled to Omaha for the big event. (My Uncle Don, who is my brother's Godfather, is visiting all the way from Santiago, Chili!)
The baptism was at St. Wenceslaus Catholic Church surrounded by family. It was a great event, followed by a celebration at Mama's Pizza (the kids' favorite restaurant). We are grateful for so many things, but most of all our four healthy children, and loving friends and family. We are so blessed!
