Clementine's Baptism

Clementine and her family at her baptism at Faith Lutheran Church, Vista, California.
Later -- here are comments from when I posted this picture to Facebook:

Sandra Pride
thanks for sharing your joy


Elizabeth Zarecki
That is so beautiful. Family is getting bigger.


Renata Carlin
No kidding! It was so special to have all my side and most of Brannon's family there. That's my 94 year old as of today mom between me and my grandson. Thank you!


Terrell Shaw
Happy Birthday Oma!


Anita Stewart
Wonderful day!

And your dad makes a pretty adorable grandpa too


Laura Kate Green
That is a beautiful little baby! 


Jessica Beckham
Such a sweet pic!


Deborah Lake Dawson
Such a sweet looking baby! Enjoy every minute


Lindy Dugger Cordell
Do you really call him "Grand Shaw"?


Lillian Shaw
Well, Clementine doesn't use words yet 

but Grand Shaw is what we ended up calling my grandfather, a nickname courtesy of my older cousin who needed to distinguish between his Grandpa Johnston and his Grand SHAW.


Brian Turner
Yeah, you can decide all you want, but it’s ultimately up to the kid. My dad wanted to be plain ol’ Grandpa but wound up becoming Peepaw


Lindy Dugger Cordell
That is precious. But yeah I know what you mean. Somehow my mom's dad went from Grandpa to GanGan. We had to turn my Pawpaw into "Pawpaw Dan" for Cotton because Mark's dad was already PawPaw and it took precedence since we saw him all the time and that's what all the 42508134980 other grandkids/greatgrandkids called him. Two different names is just confusing when they're really different. My grandmother was both Grandma and Nanny. Which was double weird when all the cousins got together because my mom's mom was also Nanny (and was Nanny twice over before Grandma was Nanny).

Lillian Shaw
Clementine is the first grandbaby, so we'll see what she decides! They're also the far away grandparents since my sister is in California. Her local grandparents are Gamma and Papa. Mom and Dad's chosen grandparent names are Granny and Grand Shaw. And I'm Aunt Lil! Man, this stuff gets confusing!

Terrell Shaw
Except I always thought of it as one word: “Gran’Shaw” or “GrandShaw”. 


Faye Layton
Adorable


Ann Gore
Yes he is!


Fred Gould
Congratulations!

Gleaning Facebook: Witch Hunt?

 Our despicable president and his despicable mouthpiece Rudy, clearly in an effort to obstruct justice, are trying to discredit our honorable law enforcement agencies. They call the investigation ---

• instituted by Republicans as well as Democrats,
• supported by Republicans as well as Democrats, and
• led by Republicans
---a witch hunt.
If it's a witch hunt, lots of witches have been found, charged, and several have confessed.

Gleaning Facebook: Criminal Enterprise

Credit...

 The criminal enterprise that has taken over our executive branch continues.

  • Abuse of the pardon power like this would have spurred impeachment talk if Obama or Clinton were president.
  • Now he's giving a heads-up to his cronies when the jobs numbers rise. I hope Mueller is keeping a close tab on when Jared, Junior, and other members of the "family" make stock market transactions.
  • And the Cohen Tapes illustrate that our President's goons behave like Mafia enforcers.
