Special Occasions
In February, we were blessed with another beautiful baby boy.  We named him Ryan Paul, after his grandmother and great-granddaddy.  In April, we celebrated his christening with family and friends.  May was a busy month for Reed.  He started T-Ball with his dad as one of his coaches.  He also participated in several programs in his preschool including graduation.  It was also his 5th birthday, which he was very proud of.

Our dear friends, Larry and Andrea stood up as Ryan's godparents.  Our pastor, Pastor David, officiated the christening.

Ryan wore a gown that was given to us when Reed was born by Tom's godmother.  All three Graff boys were christened in it.  The booties were made by Marilyn's great aunts.  This outfit will be cherished for many years to come.

Reed played T-Ball with his friend, Hannah.  Her dad also coached thier team.  Thirty years earlier, both of the coaches played on their own little league team together.  They were also known as the Astros.


Of course, Patrick had to get in on the action!


Reed escorted his friend Faith to his preschool's May Manners Banquet.
