Sunday, Sept 28th was our niece Oliva's baptism back in Decorah. Chris and I were honored to be her Godparents. The whole baptism was actually pretty funny. At one point, I could have sworn Brian was going to dunk Olivia's head in the holy water. Father Phil was giving orders about the holy water, oil and baptismal candle to the only non-catholic in the bunch (Chris) so it was pretty funny to watch Chris try to figure out what he meant. Max and Mya did not do well in church. Probably had a lot to to with driving an hour and a half and then sitting in church. Another funny moment happened when Max dropped a raisin in the holy water and when he started writing on the glass door with the baptismal candle that he took out of the diaper bag. Thank goodness for Aunt Mary who took care of the two of them during the major meltdowns:)
My mom pointed out to me that Sunday was 8 years to the day that Brian came home from the hospital after his serious car accident. 8 years ago he was a 22 year old laying in a hospital bed with numerous broken bones and needed my mom to do everything for him and now he has a beautiful daughter of his own being baptized. We have a lot to be thankful for!
Max, Mya and I spent a few days in Decorah after the baptism. Chris had to interview at Luther on Tuesday, so we stayed and he came back to pick us up. It was nice to be home and spend time with my parents and Amanda and Olivia too. Too bad my kids gave Olivia her first cold:( Hopefully she is feeling better soon!) The big news of today is that Mya finally pooped. She went Saturday to Wednesday without...so hopefully she will be able to sleep now:) Max's new thing is that he throws up his arms and says touchdown! It's pretty cute. We'll try to get it on tape and put it out for you to see!
