Immaculate Conception's Newest Member



On Saturday August 14th, Kellyn Rose was baptised at our church - Immaculate Conception Catholic Church - in Ithaca. Hot, but lovely ceremony at the 4:30 mass by Father Leo with special prayers for her approaching surgery. Thanks so much to family coming in from around NY (and overseas!).



For godparents we chose a solid crew of godmothers. My sister, Rebecca Friedman and Ruth's sisters Becky Owens and Roberta D'Agostino or as they affectionately refer to themselves Flora, Fauna and Merriweather. I felt very fortunate to be able to have had Kellyn baptised at our home church prior to the surgery. Thanks again to all that helped make it happen.

Kellyn continues to do well. Now weighing over 13 lbs. the physicians are pleased with her growth (89th percentile for weight, 68th for height - lengthening out!). Very positive preparation for surgery. She's sleeping a bit better as well for which we are all very pleased. Ruthie continues to do an outstanding job feeding and caring for her each day. Big sister Evie continues to be a handful, but is sweet. Weekly trips from Grandma have helped a ton.



Gearing up for my sister Stephanie's wedding on the Hudson next weekend. Evie has already been working on the dance moves with Kellyn. It's a wild, but beautiful summer.
