Clemson Weekend

Clemson Weekend was almost a month ago but I wanted to share some pictures with you anyway. I had a fun time visiting with everyone!

Baptism - November 19

What a blessed day this was to be surrounded by family all around as I was baptized into the Catholic Church. Grandma, Grandpa, Aunt Jenna, Uncle Justin, Aunt Michelle, Nanny Hanna, Aunt Joan, Elicia, Aunt Cindy, Aunt Pam, Aunt Sandra, Kalee Jo, Andrea and Aida all came to celebrate in this special day with me. I also had a lot of angels in the church with me as I was being baptized. My Godparents are Hanna and Justin. They will help my Momma and Daddy teach me all about being Catholic. I bet you are wondering why I said Nanny Hanna that is because it is a New Orleans tradition to call your Godmother Nanny and your Godfather Paran. I wore a 'vintage' baptism gown that my Great Grandma Sieta crocheted for my Momma on her baptism.

1st Airplane Ride to NOLA

Well it finally happened, I got to go on an airplane ride for Thanksgiving to New Orleans (NOLA). It wasn't as much fun as I thought considering I slept most of the time. Daddy was sure to get a picture of me before we took off. I did really good on the flights. That is after the 1st one I spit up all over Momma's jacket, so she decided not to fed me anymore at take off.

My trip to NOLA was alot of fun. I got to meet the rest of the Garrity Aunts, Uncles, and cousins that I had not met yet. Everyone made sure to come to Aunt Sandra's house to see me, even before they went home from work. I thought that was kind of funny. My cousin Rowan, who was the youngest Garrity cousin until I came along, kept saying "I love him." He will understand later that I am not a him. He wanted to hold me the whole time he came over to see me. Aunt Kay (his Momma) had to explain that everyone had to have a chance to hold me. Boy were there ALOT of hands to hold me. My Momma made sure that I got some floor time too because she knows how I get after a week like that. I think that I have to be held all the time and that makes for a LONG few days after a trip or visitors. That didn't make too many people happy but I know my Momma knows best.
I had my very 1st trip to the French Quarter. We had 'coffee and donuts' at Cafe Du Monde and walked around Jackson Square. Someday I will be able to enjoy this more especially when I get to blow powdered sugar on Daddy and Momma from the donuts.
