Where Was I?

Let's see....

After a fun afternoon swimming trip last Saturday, we changed clothes and headed to Charleston's for Anna's baptism dinner. We couldn't be more proud of how our girls behaved! Adele hardly made a peep during dinner, and Anna napped for a good chunk of the time.



Before Anna took her nap, she let Grandma feed her some peas:


After our dinner, it was bedtime for the girls. And then it was crazy time for Mommy and Aunt Dee Dee. We made all of the food for Sunday morning (well, except for the cake, which Grandma and Grandpa brought down from LaPorte). Next, we got sewing on Anna's Halloween costume. I made more "baby legs" out of a pair of Dee Dee's striped socks, and then we made Anna's "Raggedy Ann" hair to attach to the hat Memaw sewed. After our cooking and sewing projects were completed (or almost completed, at least) we headed to the airport to pick up Aunt Jenny. Her flight was due in at 11, and Dee Dee and I debated stopping for coffee on the way. I know you'll be shocked to hear that we actually SKIPPED the coffee and opted to head straight to the airport instead.

Although she had several "hitches" in her travels, Aunt Jenny arrived from DC in one piece and on time! (We only had to "circle" once, and that was just because there was a really crabby airport attendant on duty!!)

With Aunt Jenny in tow, we headed back home to bed...or to make cheese, THEN to bed, with alarm clocks set for bright and early on Sunday morning so that we could enjoy going out to breakfast (Dee Dee and Michael's treat!) before Anna's baptism.

We made it to the church in plenty of time, and Anna was in a great mood while she got baptised, although neither girl made it through the entire service in the sanctuary. We spent some time taking pictures and then headed back home for barbecue, taco dip, chips, cheese, crackers, sausage, veggies and (what other than) pumpkin cake!








After we ate, Dee Dee and Michael headed back to Wisconsin, Anna, Aunt Jenny and Bapa snoozed, and we opened presents. (We're pretty sure that Anna didn't mind that Adele helped with this job!)


And that was the end of the "Baptism" celebration...up next, HALLOWEEN 2010!
