Traditions...

Despite Daddy's dismay...Mommy began a new tradition...we now have a family Christening gown...that hopefully all of our little ones will wear...My mom has a photo of my grandfather in the olden days in a dress. I realized I liked the traditional look for an important church milestone...however, I am sure I will hear about this once Ethan grows up!





Auntie Tiffy lent Ethan a baby pin that was a namesake pin which my father received in 1951 after his great unlce and my grandfather wore it. The letter that was attached to the pin was from my dad's grandmother on the day of his birth explaining the tradition. Ethan Charles wore the pin with pride.
