Video Friday Saturday: Please stay Chase!

May 31

Posted by Randy in Video Friday | 1 Comment

Ok, so Chase Budinger is Felicity’s (and probably Mom and Dad’s) favorite basketball player. He plays on the U of A Wildcat basketball team. He is testing the NBA draft waters this summer but didn’t take an agent so he is keeping his options open to come back. We thought it would be appropriate for Chase’s biggest little fan to try to make a plea to stay around another year at least!

I wish we had recorded Felicity watching one of his games. She is so funny, she’d be watching the screen, and whenever she saw his characteristic flaming red hair, she would point and say “Chase!”. Of course we wish Chase all the best, regardless of what he choses…as long as it’s staying another year! ;)

Michaela’s Baptism and Jackie’s Graduation

May 22

Posted by Randy in Michaela, New Photos, Our Family | No Comments

This past weekend was a very busy one! Saturday was my niece Jackie’s graduation from Salpointe Catholic High School, my HS alma mater. It was very exciting to live vicariously through her and remember what it was like moving from HS to college. I think Jackie could have done without all of the ceremony and pomp and circumstance.

My brother Ted is Jackie’s godfather, so he flew in with his oldest son, Nick on Friday to attend her graduation. Nick is graduating from 8th grade in the coming days also! Ted is also Michaela’s godfather, so we were fortunate to be able to schedule her baptism for this weekend to take advantage of Ted being in town.

Michaela was baptized at our home Parrish, St. Elizabeth Ann Seton at the 9am mass. As I mentioned, Ted Post was the godfather and Becky’s eldest sister, Ann Polakowski was her godmother. Ann came in to Phoenix on Friday, and came down to Tucson on Saturday. It was her and Hayden’s first time meeting Michaela too.

I really enjoyed having the baptism during mass, and truly welcoming her into the church community. I was a little nervous lifting her up, but I didn’t drop her so everything worked out fine. But I think half of our family and probably the congregation was hearing “The Circle of Life” from the Lion King in their head when I did that.

Of course private baptism ceremonies are nice sometimes too, like what we did with Felicity. Afterwards we had a little party at our house of course. It was a really nice day and it so special to have most of our family there for the event, especially Michaela’s godparents! Thanks Kris and Erik for lending us your spouses!
