Ok, Here are a few more pictures from the baptism.

This is Matt, Eliana and I with her godparents: Pat (my brother) and Katie (our dear friend).
The dress Eliana is wearing was my grandmother's. My brother and I wore it for our baptisms, also.

Our friend, MaryAnn, made the bonnet to match the dress.

Matt starts back to work tomorrow.
Yuk.
We have had such a great month together. I am so thankful that he was able to take this time off work with us. He does just as much as I do in caring for the baby. And he takes good care of me! Last night I slept for 10 hours; he got up with the baby through the night and let me get a much needed long night of sleep.
I have all of next week off, yet. I go back part time the next week, then full time on March 12th. I am more sad about Matt going back to work, I think. I'm nervous that we won't see each other as much as we used to once I get back on the job, too. See, I used to work my schedule around his so we could have the most days off together possible. Now, I am doing the opposite: working on his off days so we won't need a sitter very much. Too bad we like each other so much - this might be a little tough.
Queen Eliana is doing well. She's a champ at running around with us. We go to church, shopping, out to eat and to other people's homes with little trouble (as long as we plan around her sleeping times!).
We had some company this week that I wanted to post pictures from, but I can't seem to locate them in this computer.....
