EVERYONE SAID IT . . . AND THEY WERE RIGHT!!!

Everyone told me, "You will love him (Augie) more than you've ever imagined yourself loving anyone or anything!" THEY WERE RIGHT!!! I will modify just a smidge though - because I love my husband more than I ever imagined being able to love a man.

MY TWO BOYS ARE MY LIFE - AND OH HOW I DO LOVE MY LIFE!!!


A quick follow-up from earlier this week - I did make it through the day - but barely! I went to see Augie at lunch time, and I still got out of the building as quickly as possible to go pick him up from the nanny. We spent the afternoon together - me and my little thumb sucker. Of course he slept through most of it, but just getting to be there with him made me all warm on the inside!

And my wonderful husband knows when I need a little extra Augie time - and lets me hog him a little bit more than usual! Thank you Gus!!!



Now this weekend was Augie's Baptism!!! We were so fortunate to have Grandma 'Raine be able to join us. She came in on Thursday night and got to watch Augie all day Friday while Gus and I worked. Not to mention, she continued to watch him so I could get my toes cleaned up a little - Yeah for pedicures!!! And then I had to go to the grocery store to make sure we had food for the family - Mom, Dad, Marci & John (now Augie's God Parents), and the girls came in on Saturday morning for the baptism. Unfortunately, Augie was hungry a little earlier than expected - and poor Grandma 'Raine took care of a very angry Augie - THANKS AGAIN FOR HANGING IN THERE GRANDMA 'RAINE!!!
Saturday was filled with lots of great moments though! The baptism went wonderfully.
Augie looked like a DUDE in his suit!!!


He didn't cry when Fr.Tom put the baptismal water on him!

And he even made it through all of the pictures afterwards - without leaking through his diaper and staining his suit!!! And he did "unload" during the blessing of God Parents and Parents - Marci and I were smiling - and smelling - as Augie calmly smiled proudly at his now gasless belly!






Of course - we are very proud parents of our little "Son of God!"


Celebration followed at the StaatsPac household!!! Augie received such beautiful gifts from everyone that came - he is one blessed, loved little man!





THANK YOU EVERYONE - AUGIE LOVES ALL OF HIS THOUGHTFUL, BEAUTIFUL GIFTS!!!

And of course - there was play time with cousins before we all CRASHED from exhaustion! We love you Elena and Alexa - we had SO much fun with you here!!!


Thanks again to everyone who was able to be here and share this occasion with us! And to those who could not, we miss you very much!
All our love,
The StaatsPac
