Busy

Presently Mommy has her hands full with working full time and getting ready to defend her thesis in early May.  Her favorite parts of the day are mornings and evenings when she gets to spend some quality time with Nicholas.  At some point, when things are less crazy, mommy hopes to blog more frequently, but for now, here are some pictures.

Baptism of Nicholas

Today was a glorious day for our family! Nicholas was baptized and took his first communion.

As suggested by the title, we have been a little busy for the past week and a half and thus slacked a little on posting. But given that we took a couple of cute pictures, I figured I would also let everyone know that tomorrow is a big day for Nicholas. It is his baptism. This is one of the great sacraments of the Orthodox Church. Look for pictures from the baptism in the next few days.
