Chesapeake water baby!

We were lucky to get to see the Bardewell-Jones clan one more time before they headed back to Hawaii !   Ian’s Dad’s 70th bday was a great bash and Otis loved the brackish bay and pool water fun!

WHAT a weekend. 

Godmother: Meghan came from San Francisco. 

Godparents: Ian/Celia & sibs Forest/Ocean/Sky from Hawaii. 

My parents/the grandparents in from New Hampshire. 

All to celebrate, bless, and welcome OWP!  

We feel so truly thankful and awe struck to have Otis meet these wonderful friends of ours who have been in our lives for so long-  Ian since college for Kyle and Meghan since my days in San Francisco after college.  Both Meghan and Ian/Celia have been so important to us as a couple as well.  As godparents we look forward to all years to come!   Future sails and trips to the West Coast- and the spiritual guidance we know they will provide for Otis.

The whole weekend was a wonderful mix of hanging out at the house, talking, cooking and prepping, swimming pool dips and general merriment!  My Dad preformed the baptism (post baby nap) and we all gathered in the backyard (even Mazzy!) on Saturday afternoon.  

A champagne toast and Bo Saam feast followed!
