Four glorious months ago, our friends Pete and Joy gave birth to two very adorable and healthy children...TWINS: Isabelle Marie and David Aaron. The kids have been enjoying their life thus far; which consists mostly of eating (at the same time while holding hands...I mean really, could they be any cuter), sleeping and taking in all the smiles and dreamy eyes of anyone who meets them. I would say that Pete and Joy have adjusted beautifully to parenthood. Their eyes shine with pride when you talk with them. And believe it or not, doubling their family's size has brought them closer together than ever before. It brings Nick and I great joy to watch our friends love their kids with all they have to give. 
Joy, LeAnna (Godmother) holding David, Nick holding Isabelle, LeAnna's Daughter, and PeterNick was recently asked by Pete and Joy to be their kid's Godfather. With great jubilation, Nick accepted and has been enthusiastically sharing the news of his new-found role to everyone...not to mention threatening (with a wispy voice, while scratching his neck): "If you hurt those kids, I will have to break both your kneecaps." It's funny what given a title can do. He may need to catchup on some Godfather movies to play the role just right. 
On Sunday, we took a trip to Bainbridge Island to be a part of Isabelle and David's Baptismal. They were sprinkled with water and anointed with oil, asked to be blessed by the Holy Spirit and commissioners of Jesus Christ.
It was a beautiful site and an honor to be a part of such a special day (Isabelle above, David below). 
The hours following consisted of great food, conversation and watching Nick clean up David's spit-up every few minutes. It will be quite the adventure to watch these two grow up to be individuals and we look forward to their trips up to Bellingham...so Uncle Nick and Aunt Andi can show them the ropes.
