April 22nd, 2001 - Elly working it at a family party!

April 1, 2001 (Almost 4 Months) - The Geisslers came up from the Philadelphia area to visit Elly on April Fool's Day. Jack (in picture on left) is only 2 months older than Elly but is twice her size (literally - Jack weighs over 20 pounds and Elly is a little under 10 pounds). Elly shared her play mat with Jack, and they had a great time together. PJ (almost 3 - seen on right) really liked Elly's singing Piglet doll and enjoyed sitting next to Elly. He even gave her a hug and a kiss soon after this picture was taken! Below is a picture of PJ, Jack, and their mom, Kerry. What a beautiful family! Lastly, Dad, PJ, and Jonas can't take their eyes off of Elly. Thanks to the Geisslers for Elly's outfit.
April 21, 2001 - Dad and Elly on a Park trip!
April 22, 2001 - What a day! We started out hanging out at home (doing neat tricks like grabbing my feet!), went to the park for the afternoon, and then ended up at Sean and Erika's for dinner celebrating Tara's birthday.

Is that mine? Look at my long toes -- they're like fingers!

Boy, do I like my Mom! She's a lot of fun! (And look at my cute lady bug butt!)

Dad, what are you doing?

Looking cool with Dad! Can you believe these sunglasses? Thanks, Geisslers!

Elly: Excuse me, I have the floor! My followers (Uncles Ryan and Sean and Aunt Erika) need a lesson!
Dad: Here we go again!

Grandpa has a comf-y thigh. Now how do I get him to come home with us?

April 29, 2001 - Elly's Baptism. Fr. (Great Uncle "Smiley") James and Fr. (Great Uncle) Charlie offered a wonderful mass to celebrate Elly's Baptism. Elly is blessed to have two Godfathers, Uncles Sean and Dan, and a loving family, many of whom shared in the day in very personal ways: Uncle Ryan and Grandma Adams read the readings; Aunt Peggy (Mom's godmother!) played the piano; Grandpa Adams sang at Communion; the great grandparents (Great Grammy Carlson, GG Ma and Pop-cubed Dolan, and GG Adams) offered personally inspired and written Prayers of the Faithful; and Grandma Ragone and Aunt Millie Callan brought up the gifts while we all sang the Prayer of St. Francis in Grandpa Ragone's memory.

Elly cried for almost the entire sacrament, calming down briefly when Fr. James poured the water over her head (we always knew she was a bit backwards!). Mom finally had to nurse Elly on the altar (caught on film in the picture on the right below)!! What a wonderful day with family and close friends!


Tara and her godparents, Tom Casper and Peggy Dolan Lamb (also in picture, Elisabeth Alexandra Ragone)


Godfather Dan and some of the Callan clan (Eddie, Tommy, and Millie)!
