Great Grandma Burns

Before we left for memphis Frank got to visit with his great-grandma Burns... as usual he was the perfect baby!

Pool Baby

Wednesday frank was 8 weeks old and we had a "play date" with his buddy Brody at the rec center indoor pool. He did very well in the water and was not fussy (except when he was hungry as usual). I think he may be a pool rat like his mommy when he is big enough!

Another Day... Another Hat

It would appear as though Frank has acquired many hats in his 8 weeks of life! These past few days the weather has been so beautiful we have been taking many walks and enjoying the outdoors. We hope this is a preview for the Memphis weather to come in the next week.

Getting to be a big boy

Now that Frank looks more like a big boy mommy and grandma like to dress him when we go out in public. Monday Frank went to visit grandma Hartge at school and he got all dressed up for the occasion.

The Baptism of Francis Joseph Hartge V

On Sunday April 6, 2008 Frank was Baptized at St. Matthew the Apostle Church is Gahanna, Ohio. We had a lot of friends and family come and support him on his special day. He is such a wonderful baby and very lucky to have such wonderful god parents! His godmother is his aunt, Molly Hartge and his godfather is Liam Carstens a very good family friend. He spent most of the day hanging out with his family and napping with uncle Joe.

What a weekend!

This weekend was Frank's Baptism weekend! Great-Grammy Casey and Aunt Cathy Patrick came in to help celebrate. On Friday night we went do dinner with the Hayes and Hartge families. On Saturday Frank and I went to watch uncle Joe's Lacrosse game at St. Charles, then to dinner again with the whole family. We had a very nice weekend visiting with family and friends.
