Brotherly & Sisterly Love

Levi is just 2 days old in this one. This is the second time that they've been together. That's the day that Alena came back home from staying at Grandpa & Grandma's house while Daddy & Mommy were in the hospital. She has been affectionate with him from the beginning.

.

Aren't they so cute? We just have to watch that Alena doesn't smother her brother with a bit too much love!! He doesn't know how to defend himself... yet (that, and she doesn't know any better)! We feel very blessed to have been given these two children, difficult as they may be on some days!

Alena & the Excavator!

Levi's Baptism

Our little Levi was baptized on February 27 at my home church, St. Paul's, in Tomahawk. We thought it was pretty cool that he was being baptized on his Grandpa Cerkas' birthday since Alena was baptized on her Grandma Hawkins' birthday two years ago! Pastor Schoenherr spoke from the heart on saying "yes" to the Lord and teaching Levi to do the same. It was super cool to see most of the DeNamur family, Uncle Jake, Auntie Ashley, grandparents, and family friends in attendance for Levi's special day!

.

Baptized in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Levi's sponsors are Jeremy & Cristina Hermann.

He did such a wonderful job and made Levi's baptism so meaningful for us all! .My dad admiring his grandson. So sweet! . Levi's future babysitter (when we're in Rhinelander), cousin Brianna. We love you, Breezy!
