My little brother is getting bigger!!! Last weekend (May 18th) we had baptism. This picture below is a favorite....after a long day, Brennan was wide awake and very expressive Sunday evening. We had beautiful weather and ended up at our house after church for a BBQ out on the new deck. I (Lydia) took my first 4 hour nap EVER!!!

Thanks to you all who have called and sent goodies over the past month and a half!! It means so much to us and we truly appreciate everything!! Enjoy the updates!!!

Here's a little glimpse of Brennan's smile. In his baptismal gown (the same one Lydia wore and Mommy too.....it's made from Mommy's Grandma Faye's wedding gown) right before church started.
Great-Grandma Lodermeier holding Brennan....he's doing what he does best.

Papa holding me after church....I fell asleep about 20 minutes before church was over and slept through all of the pictures....did me some good though.


Mommy, Daddy and Brennan with Brennan's Godparents: Uncle Aron and Auntie Mel.

The ever-so expanding Lodermeier family - a quick pic following church.
L to R: Aron & Mel, Daddy, Mommy & Brennan, (sitting) Lydia in Papa's lap and Noah in Grammy's lap, Jacob, Alice & Chris.

Brennan after his lunch....he looks like he's asking for just a little more?!?!?

And just a few days ago....Mommy was feeding Brennan and I was feeding My baby. If you ask, I do know that Brennan drinks milk from Mommy, and Me and Daddy drink milk from the fridge. I also know that my babies drink from a bottle (as of now.....).

And look at me.....I can even hold Brennan!!! Sometimes I try to force him to take his Nukie....he looks a little nervous....not sure why?!?!?

And a goodie....BATH TIME!!! LOVE IT!!! Behind me to the right....I color on the tub!! Boy is that ever fun!!!!!!!!!

April 10th, Grammy and Papa over for a visit....I can't get enough of them!!

I still get my Nukie at bedtime....and I'd really like it now. Maybe I can get a quick suck out of it before Grammy confiscates it.

Earlier that day, Daddy was showing me how to read Brennan books. I was a rookie at it back then....you should stop by sometime, I'm nearly a PRO at it now :)

Speaking of being a pro....I LOVE washing dishes and playing in the water.

And last....a picture of Buddy all tucked in tight in Mommy's front pack. This way, he can come along when I drag Mommy outside to play.

That's all for now.....we moved our computer upstairs a couple of weeks ago and have been having troubles with our internet. I think we found the problem and solution so will try to get more pics up in a couple of weeks. For now, thanks again everyone for all you've done since Brennan was born!! We sure enjoy the company and look forward to spending lots of time relaxing this summer on our new deck (which you are invited to come and see).

Love, Lydia
