Best Buds

Ogden offered to host his buddy Ezekiel on a play-date so that E's folks could take a day on the town.

"Back East"

Og headed "back East" to visit Dad's oldest brother and his family. Og got to check out NYC with Mom and Dad; got a thorough psychological evaluation from Aunt Mer; helped Uncle Nate install a zip-line for the kids; learned a couple Hannah Montana songs from Caroline; got his first baseball lesson from Ethan; and got introduced to Lyle Lovett via Susanna ("that's right, you're not from Texas...").

"Back East"

Baptized!

Og decided to pass on this year's Easter Vigil, so he just sent Mom and Dad. He had to rest up, after all, for his baptism on Easter Sunday morning. We had a little bit of a scare during the service, however. Apparently Og got a little case of cold feet, and decided to hide from the standing-room only crowd. Mom was able to track him down and calm his stage-fright. Below are pics of the event, plus Og with Mom and Dad and his new Godparents, Shane and Christie. (Thanks to Sebastian for the action shot.)

 
 
 

Egg hunting

Well, Easter came and went. But luckily I got some shots of Og, Uncle Paul, and the Great Easter Egg Hunt of 2009.

 
 
 
 

Spring time gardening

Og has been putting in some long hours at the community garden getting his plot ready for Spring. Here are a couple pics from a recent "Open Garden" event.

 
 

Speed Racer

Ezekiel invited Ogden out to the track to help him celebrate his dad's birthday a few weeks ago. Oggie was sad to hear that he didn't quite meet the height requirements to race, but he did have a great time checking out the display go-kart and cheering Tim on to victory.
