Special Girl, Special Day

On December 13th, Savannah was baptized. She was awesome, but cried her eyes out when the priest poured tons of water onto her head. She kept looking back at him, and whimpering, but guess she caught onto the essence of it all by putting her head against his chest later, forgiving him for the 'dunking'! As you can see, Savannah looked fabulous in her custom-made Chinese silk gown. It was great to celebrate with family and close friends.

Special thanks to the two 'marraines', Elaine and Josee, and to Patti-razzi and Photo-Denic Vezina for the outstanding photography (including the above).

Sled Heads

Ahhhh! Winter's here in its full glory (almost - need more ice to get onto the lake). Yes!!! Of course, Savannah goes outside with me every day. As you can see, I'm initiating her to the splendour of sledding (don't worry, she won't be on a moving sled for a few years yet). I think she realizes the beautiful smell of sled exhaust is one of the hallmarks of the season, that trails are made to be broken, or more accurately, broken to be made, and that there's nothing nicer than a pine tree full of snow, especially if we can shake the branches while Dad stands underneath. Oh! Yeah!

As always, Savannah's thriving, trying all kinds of new food. She loves cheerio-like nuggets, and is not a big fan of cottage cheese. And we've learned that prunes should definitely be a controlled substance, doled out in small amounts only!
