I’m stealing today’s headline from Grammy Jill’s email. She was kind enough to take video of Noe’s baptism over the weekend via her cell phone (since the parents forgot our video camera on the kitchen counter…). Long story short — our church does the full on naked dunking — and no, we’re not Baptist. We’re the Catholic Christensens. Noe handled it all like a champ. Good times!
So, catching up from last week: BBQ with the Saindon Family; My first days back at work; Grandma Betty’s first days as Noe’s care provider; Noe’s baptism; Mother’s Day… Whew! Enjoy the pics. More commentary when working mommy gets the hang of multi-tasking. 
Friday night BBQ: Me, Noe and Stacy
All five chicas: Stacy, me, Tess, Ruby and Noe
Daddy reading her FAVORITE book right now, “Gossie”
Can’t get enough of Gossie in her red boots!
A visit from Grandma and Grandpa R… This was extra special since Grandpa R. hand’t seen Noe since she was one day old, in the hospital!
Showing her range: Noe sitting up in her Bumbo Seat
… and performing in her Exersaucer!
Whew! Mommy’s first week back at work was EXHAUSTING!
We three Christensens at the baptismal font
Noe hamming it up at her baptism after-party…
A special shout out to all the women in my life who are like mothers to me: friends, mentors, support networks, pillars of strength, mommy-advice-sharers, friends from way back, mothers of my friends from way back (Mahnee and Marilyn!)… You know who you are. Too many to list here… I’m lucky enough to have an amazing mother, yet you women also rawk my world… THANK you for being you!
Happy Mother’s Day!
I can’t believe how big she’s getting! And still looks just like Joe!
Sounds like you had a wonderful weekend! Tell Betty I said HI! Love ya!
You’ll do a great job multi-tasking. There are days when you don’t believe it -but always know that you’re a great mom even if you sometimes don’t feel like it! My Mom gave me that piece of advice.
