First fall colors arrive along Copperas Creek. The days grow short, soon the evenings will be cooler and the majesty of autumn will be upon us.
Family and friends gather around Rita, left, and Mitch Trak, center, as they bring their son Noah (in Mitch's arms) to St. Bridget church in West End Richmond for baptism.
Mitch and Noah await the beginning of the baptismal service. Mitch and Rita are part of the family of Chef Michael and Mary Trak. The family owns and runs three excellent restaurants in Short Pump area: Grapevine II, Seafire Grill and Grapevine Bistro.
Mich Trak holds his son, Noah, as Rev. John Arkesteyn, a deacon at St. Bridget, baptizes him. Noah's Aunt Marianne and Uncle Gabor look on. Rita is hidden by her husband.
The extended family gathers for impromptu pictures after the baptism.
Chris Mize, also Noah's uncle, is a local artist working in the Short Pump area. He presented a book of reproductions of his paintings to his mother for her birthday. Several years ago he painted our grandson, Max, below.
Max's portrait was one of Chris' first commissions. Now we can't afford him!
