Baptism

Althea was baptised by her Grandpa Jim this past Sunday. The immediate family witnessed the event, as did Althea's godmother, Carolyn Jenson. Althea is very active, but made it through the ceremony without too much squirming! Enjoy some pictures from this beautiful event!

Proud parents and godmother!

We love our family!

It's been a very busy and fun Fourth of July weekend for Althea. She has experienced many firsts, hung out with friends and family, and smiled through it all! We so enjoy watching her live each moment to its fullest. Here are the latest pictures and some stunning video!

On Thursday night, we hung out with fellow Irondale graduates and their offspring. What a crew!

On Friday, Althea went to the Minnesota Zoo for the first time with her cousin Stella. Althea liked the aquarium best, but the farm was a close second!




On Sunday, Althea went to her first Twins game with mom and dad, grampa Jim and gramma Sal, and grampa's sisters' families. She clapped every time Joe Mauer was at bat!

And on the Fourth of July, cousin Lai brought a toy to Turtle Lake that Althea used to practice her walking skills. Amazing!
