Julianna was baptized last Saturday. Here she is looking happy and angelic in her baptismal dress. She was joined by 12 other babies, but as Julian said, "I looked at all of them and Jules is the most beautiful." He is not at all partial I'm sure. 
This is St Frances Xavier Cathedral in Phoenix which is their church. You can see all the families up front. Notice the small stained glass windows overhead in the dome, Jules couldn't keep her eyes off them. We were waiting for the ceremony to start and there she was looking straight up focusing on those blue squares of light.
Here are her Godparents, Jess and Matt
Faye, Javier and Jules
Javier holding Jules for the christening. I wonder if there is a reason that the priest used a shell?? Part of the water came from the Jordan river in Israel. It was a beautiful service. 
This is a delphinium. I saw it at the nursery and thought I'd try growing it. I got 2 and put them in pots, so I can bring them in when it gets too hot. There is a poem by AAMilne about delphiniums and a dormouse which Mom read to us many times when we were little, so I was excited to see what delphiniums look like. They are really beautiful. "There once was a Dormouse who lived in a bed of delphiniums (blue) and geraniums (red). And all the day long he'd a wonderful view of geraniums (red) and delphiniums (blue). A doctor came hurrying round and he said: Tut-tut, I am sorry to find you in bed. Just say Ninety-nine, while I look at your chest....Don't you find that chrysanthemums answer the best." Anyway it is a long and sad story about how they replaced the geraniums and delphiniums with chrysanthemums (yellow and white) and the dormouse was very sad, but the doctor really thought he had recommended the right change. Anyway, I really love AAMilne poems and that was the first thing I gave to Jules. Talking about Julian, he is doing pretty well all things considering. He had IV chemo yesterday and will take chemo pills, Xoloda, for the next 2 weeks. Then he will have a whole week off till he has to start another 21 day cycle. He will have 5 of these before they reevaluate (probably with another PET scan).
