Carrabba's and Christening

Most of you know by now that Carrabba's closed Sarah's restaurant here in town. She still has a job with the company, but is travelling between stores right now. She has been getting a lot more time off lately which has been a blessing. I know that we have both really enjoyed being with each other more lately. There are a number of options out there for us to decide on and for now we are just trying to keep an open mind about it all. Neither of us really wants to move if it comes to that, since it hasn't been a year since we moved into this home. Please keep us in your prayers.

Speaking of prayers... In April Sarah and I are really excited to see our niece, Adrianna, in person at her christening. Sarah's mom is also planning a baby shower the day before since we'll be in town.
In July we are going to have our soon to be son, Connor Deane, christened. We are pretty sure that it will be sometime in the 3rd or 4th week of July. Don't plan too much just yet, as invitations will follow. Our due date is still the 8th of July, and I know that I am already counting down the days. Hope all is well. Talk to you soon.
Gary and Carmen just got back from being groupies for the band, The Elders, who recently toured Ireland for a week. They brought us back Connor's first sweater, hand made in Ireland. It really is beautiful.
Here is a pair of overalls that Sarah absolutely loves. Her phrase, "There ain't no bugs on me," has been uttered a time or two lately. She really enjoys the little buggies on his coolie. I really like them cause I'm hoping I won't be able to tell if they are dirty or not.

Mike & Dennis, we just couldn't resist buying the boy some fishin gear even before he shows up. It's rip-stop and comes with a vest, which we haven't bought yet, since it looks like he will really have to grow into it. There was also a bucket hat, but that was big on me!!!

I absoluetly love the name you have chosen..and can't wait for you guys to meet Adrianna for the first time. Get yourselves ready for a lot of picture taking :) This way when we talk to about her Auntie Sarah and Uncle Chris she can see your picture. As for Carrabba's I am sorry to hear about that. Our work just laid off 4 people me being one of them. Things will work out for the best. And everything happens for a reason. Enjoy the extra time you have to spend with eachother. See you soon :)

I love the name also. It flows, so it will be easy to yell it across the house when he is older and misbehaves. ;-) I don't think I will be making the christening as I will hopefully be giving birth at that time. As for the sweater, I will have to ask your folks where the Irish sweater for Greta is...I am very jealous. Love to all and can't wait to see you in April.
