Aunt Melissa, Foxx and Kate came... I hope they thought it was fun! Foxx was really interested in the baptism part, but Kate thought it was too hot in the church (she was right!)
Here I am with Uncle Will, Aunt Holly, Aunt Melissa, Foxx and Kate eating lunch... hotdogs and tuna mac salad... hamburgers, potato salad (thanks, Gamma Penny!), pulled chicken sandwiches and chips! Then we had cake and ice cream!
I got lots of sprinklers and we all got to play in them before we went to church. Gamma Jackie is running through the water with me... but Hunter's doing it all by himself!
I got to get wet in my birthday dress... (not my birthday suit, of course!)
Aunt Jeanette came, too! It was nice to have many of my great aunts and uncles here.
Uncle Will is Bennett's godfather... and he dressed the part so well!
Here we are at the church where they poured water on Bennett's head. He didn't mind at all!
Parents and godparents, and the newly baptized Bennett!
Bennett would like to thank Aunt Steph and Uncle Will for being his godparents. Other family and friends that came (sorry we didn't have pictures of you!) were my godmother, Aunt Mary Beth, Gramma Penny (of course!), Gaa, Grampa Dave and Miss Jan, Uncle Adam, Mary Witucki and our neighbors Detlef and Heather Losert, who just moved to Germany. We had a packed house, but we really appreciated everyone spending their day with us! Thank you all for the wonderful gifts for both of us.
A few days later we went to the zoo. Did you know that my brother has wallabies?
Here's a picture of a mommy wallaby and her baby named Joey! (can you see him hiding in her pouch??)
We got to feed the budgies with bird food on a stick... they liked me!
They liked Foxx, too, but I'm not too sure he liked them!
Mom and Kate thought the budgies were neat!
Foxx and I got to touch the stingrays (don't worry, they don't have their stingers anymore!)
We thought that was very cool!
Kate loved the fishes!
She told us all about them!
Just taking a quick rest... it was a hot day!
On Saturday, Daddy took me and Ben to Purgiel Farms to meet some of his work friends and see the fainting goats and petting zoo. Daddy was very brave to take us both by himself... Mommy had to work. And since he couldn't find the camera (Mommy had left it in the basement), there aren't any pictures of that. But it sure was fun!
Being two is fun... I'm such a big girl! Yesterday we went to the jungle gym across the street where there were a bunch of other kids playing and I just went right up to them and said "Hi, guys!" Mommy doesn't know where I get this stuff... although later that day I told her "Later, dude!" when I was going out on the deck to play (that one I got from "Finding Nemo".) I still like to help with my brother... although sometimes I like to be baby, too, so I'll sit in his swing or his bouncy seat, which Mommy doesn't like (why should he get all the fun stuff?) And just this morning when we were upstairs getting ready, I found my blanket and popper and climbed on to Mommy and Daddy's bed and then over into Bennett's cradle (don't worry... he was in the bathroom with Mommy) and tried to take a nap. Mommy didn't think that was so cute!
Well, that's about all for now. We're going up to Gaylord later this week. We'll have pictures of that soon... Oh, please keep in your thoughts and prayers Aunt Peggy, Uncle Rod, Tighe and Carlee and their family - Aunt Peggy's mom just passed away (her dad passed away a few months ago), and also Uncle Dickie, who is in the hospital with pneumonia.
Hope to see you all again soon!
Love, Mollee
P.S. I know that it seems like I have a lot of aunts and uncles, especially for my dad being a only child, but it's really just a title of endearment because we love and appreciate our family and friends!
