Road trip!!!

Today we woke up bright and early and jumped in the car to head down to Richmond for my niece's (and now goddaughter, too *Yay!*) christening. She is my brother's daughter and was being christened alongside her little sister. M is a real firecracker of a little girl and even though I probably shouldn't openly admit this, I think she's my favorite. I mean, look how much spirit this girl has... I snapped this picture at the end of a mini session that we tried to have getting all of the cousins together. Little M could barely contain herself and jumped up in front of everyone else. Perhaps it's okay since she IS my goddaughter for me to think that she's so wonderful? Whatever! If that's wrong, then I don't want to be right!

I did actually manage to get an OK picture of the "Cousins by the half dozen" (as I like to think of them). Baby A is front and center and her growing up with a camera being shoved on her constantly seems to be working out just fine seeing as how this was the only decent picture we were able to get with everyone and Baby A is the only one just grinning away through most all of the pictures.
D was being silly for so much of the day and did this three times in a row (at least) while I was trying to get a nice picture of him with sweet little Baby A.


He introduced her to the joy that is baby carrots and they fought over this one for a good while.


On our way back home we happened by an exit for Amelia, Virginia. Never knew it existed but now that I know it does, I totally want to visit it!!!
