clare & brody’s baptism weekend

the spences finally made it up to connecticut to visit patrick and shannon and their brood of five kids! we made the trip last weekend for a very special occasion — the baptism of the twins, clare and brody. patrick and shannon honored molly by choosing her to be brody’s godmother! one of the highlights of being a godmother is getting to dress the babies in the elaborate christening gowns, being extra careful not to damage the fragile white layers! molly and cheyenne almost lost the babies in all those layers!

one of jackson’s favorite parts of the weekend was riding around on his cousin, quinn’s, gator! thumbs up to you, quinn, for the great rides! we can’t wait to come up to your house again.

one of the best parts of the weekend was getting to spend so much quality time with family. jackson joined in on a bedtime story that nana was reading to cousin eva!

shannon sure does have her hands full with twin newborns and three other kids! but she’s doing a great job. the babies really respond to her every time she picks them up!

brody is a little sweetheart. we think he looks like a little old man, at four months old! jill decided to call him mister magoo, since patrick always called colin “ernie” when he was a little guy. (on a side note, it’s pretty crazy to realize how big and old colin has gotten — he’ll be 15 in a few months, and he’s now officially taller than molly!)
