Lil' Stinker

Hi Everyone!

Gavin had a very busy weekend...he celebrated his very first Halloween, had a photographer take professional pictures of him for more than 4 hours, and he was also baptized on Sunday. On Friday, Gavin celebrated his first Halloween by dressing up like a baby skunk. He was absolutely adorable! Gavin was also invited to his very first party which also happened to be a Halloween party. We took our little guy out for trick or treating and he really enjoyed seeing all of the decorations and costumes. As you can see from the picture on our blog, he ended up passing out from all of the festivities. Everyone ended up having a great time!

On Saturday, we hired a professional photographer to take pictures of Gavin. We are looking forward to the pictures being posted to the photographer's website. As soon as they are available, we will post the link so everyone can see his pictures. Gavin was such a good sport during the photo session...no matter what the photographer suggested, Gavin seemed to be up for it. After all of the wardrobe changes and poses, we were able to catch some great shots of him. At the end of the session, he was so exhausted he passed out. It's not easy being so cute. :o)

To cap off the weekend, Gavin was baptized on Sunday. Gavin wore a beautiful christening outfit his Nana bought for him. At his service, Tim, myself, Nana, Grampie, and our friend Jen were there for the baptism. Gavin ended up stealing the show when Sue anointed him...when she made the cross on his forward, Gavin looked up at her and gave her a big smile. It was a beautiful service. Gavin now has two very specials sets of God Parents...Robert and Helen Mason and Robbi & Andy Makely. A big thank you goes out to my mom and dad for having us over for dinner and the beautiful silver rattle and cup to commemorate the day.

Well, that's all for now...only 2 weeks to Thanksgiving...so, we will have more to share after the holiday... :o)

Love,
The Makelys
