Baptism

Q before the festivities. Man it was tiring getting dressed and riding in the car.

Both kids got baptised this weekend. It ended up we waited so long with Megan that we just did a two-fer. Both at the same time, 1 party and we're done. Something to be said for procrastination. ;)

At our church they do baptisms in the beginning of the service. Sunday was All Saints Day and the church had a little ceremony to remember those who died in the past year. The pastor read the person's name, someone lit a candle and the rang the church bell. Megan decided to ask questions during the silence that followed. So the bell would ring, and Megan would make some comment like, "What's that?" or "Miss Beckey that's a bell!" I even tried to give her a coloring book in an effort to keep her quiet but all that did was get her talking about what was in the coloring book. And that would be the reason she goes to the nursery.


Megan and Quinn did well during the actual baptism. Megan kept trying to get down and go look at the candles behind us. Fortunately, she didn't try too hard to get down. Since I had been telling her all week that the pastor would put water on her head she was excited for it. Quinn fussed a bit, but took it like a champ.

A family picture. At least in this one Megan isn't flashing the camera.
