On Saturday, August 3rd Robert Frank Martin II was baptized in Salida, Colorado. It was a wonderful ceremony with family, and friends who have become family. Frankie wore his father's baptismal outfit, just like his big brother did. He was baptized in his Mother's church -- the same church she was baptized in and his Grandpa was baptized in. He didn't cry at all... instead, he smiled and giggled through the entire ceremony. TJ wore a suit, complete with his orange kicks. Before Mass, Grandpa & Grandma put together an amazing Italian dinner complete with homemade meatballs and sausage and Grandma Reno's pasta sauce. It was awesome. Frankie's Godmother, Susie, and her family drove down from Parker. So, TJ had a blast playing with Jack and acting crazy like they always do. His Godfather, Jonas, flew in from NYC, and we were so glad to have him stay with and get some quality catch-up time with him! Our family from Southern California were actually in town that weekend as well, so Frankie got to meet Aunt Debbie & Uncle Kevin, and TJ enjoyed playing with their cousins, Izzy & Chloe. He also met Aunt Diane and Danielle. TJ & Frankie were both spoiled rotten, by everyone -- especially Grandma, Pa & Aunt G. And TJ had a great time fishing at the lake. He even got to drive Uncle Carl's boat (which made Mommy a little nuts.) It was a short, fun-filled weekend -- Full of friends, family and wonderful memories.
