Caden's Baptism

Saturday we spent the afternoon at Kekoa and Marci's house for Caden's baptism. After the baptism we went to their house for a hellishly nice dinner. The guests of honor were several nice sized Maryland Blue Crabs that were plucked from the Chesapeake Bay less than 24 hours before. I think the kids were as excited as most of the adults to eat (and play) with the crabs.
It was important that the kids ate first and were settled before the rest of us got down to business. And yes when you eat crabs, it's all business.

I was able to get a nice close up picture of Leilani and it turned out really well.

I think if you were to ask the boys what they like best about crabs, they would say, "using the hammer".

I noticed that Preston and Kalea were into actually eating the crabs the most. They had their own table set up and didn't need any help with them. They also did a better job of cleaning out the crabs than the others.

Keanu is always matter-of-factly with Grandma. Whenever he sees her he says 'hi' to her like he just saw her. He doesn't get scared or excited when he sees her like the other kids used to do. I wonder if it has anything to do with her coming out and watching them for that week last summer.
