Teelin's Naming Ceremony was held in a lovely historic Vermont inn this weekend, with family and friends attending. Kevin and Jiliane, chosen as godparents, gracefully accepted the role with smiles on their faces and love in their hearts. Baby Teelin was peaceful throughout the ceremony, as different people cradled him through speeches and music. He did not protest being dressed in a silk christening dress-tailored for boys-, but it was difficult to keep a grasp on him garbed in the slippery silk. The two year olds that attended were the noisy ones, as their exuberance and boundless energy was evident, but controlled when it needed to be. Louisa and Mala, not quite two, were a sweet little ladies, following the older toddlers around, trying to be just like them.
The food was great, and the spirit of kindness apparent, as we formally welcomed this little one into the family and world. Doobie and Heather's gift to the attendees-a relief of little newborn Teelin-was perfect.

It was a beautiful Day! Thank you for playing the harp with us. I love the rattle I did not see that yesterday :)
The Kate, Kev and Weezy trio rocked! Thanks for the show and great photos!
Nice shots Mom. It was a magical day and will be in my memory for a long time. Teelin is such a gift and I am so blessed to now have a son and daughter to share my already wonderful life with. Doobie had been such a grounded partner for me during this transitioning time from one child to two...thank you.
What a great naming ceremony. Jilliane and I were honored to be chosen as Mr. T's Godparents!
