Child of God (and Gualala)

Gabrielle Marie Deelo was baptized at Mary Star of the Sea in Gualala on Father's Day, June 15, 2008 by Fr. Theo. She was absolutely wonderful during the whole mass and liked the water being poured over her head. How special to have both sets of grandparents, her Auntie Kathleen, and her Godparents (Gerard and Sarah) there.

Our Water Baby!

Gabrielle's first tub bath 5/30/08. She loves the water, just like Mommy and Daddy! Daddy had the GREAT idea of using the faucet for a "shower." You can see Orka supervising in the background (and thanking God it is not her getting the bath in the sink!).
