Sunday was Julie's baptism. The morning got started a little earlier than the rest since we had to make it to church on time, our first activity in the morning that had a set starting time. After getting dressed, we got Julie in to the outfit that we had picked up at the mall earlier in the week. We took seperate cars because Scott and I had to pick up the food after the baptism so it would be there when people started showing up. Here's a picture of the church.
The service was normal, but with a baptism in it. This particular church was much different to the Catholic ones I had gone to. There was a band. I don't mean choir or organist. There was a dude on synth drums, a guy on electric guitar, a full sized piano, and another with an acoustic guitar. They also had giant screens in the walls that showed the lyrics, prayers, what have you.
Julie fussed a bit in the beginning of the service, but there wasn't much we could do. We couldn't take her out to a different room because her baptism was only a few minutes away. Katie tried to quiet her, but there wasn't much she could do aside from try to entertain her and keep the pacifier in her mouth. When the baptism started she was quiet. She didn't even make a noise when they put the water on her head.
After church Scott and I left to get the food and we got back just in time. Everything from that point on was pretty relaxed. Two couples, one with an eight month old, and the other with a 1 year old, showed up and we just sat around and talked for an hour or two until. The rest of the day was uneventful, although that night we played a game of Bezzerwezzer, a trivia game, and Carol and I won.
Yesterday (day 19) was our first babysitting day. Katie and Scott had to go back to work, which left us to watch Julie for the day. It was easy, nothing crazy came up, but that didn't stop the check-in calls. First from Katie, then Scott, Then Carol's dad, then Katie again, and then Carol's dad one more time for good measure. No faith! Later that night we picked up some pizza, followed by a late afternoon jog around one of the "lakes".
Today there must have been more faith in us. We had to babysit again, but this time we only got one check-in call. Scott's work had blown a transformer and had no electricity, so he actually came home around 1 and the babysitting was over. We went to some Mexican restaurant and I got two soft tacos with the ground beef stuff with no veggies or cheese in them. I'm still burping, which I find disturbing. That's all I got. No more photos. Next time I post, I'll be in Pennsylvania. Here's one last photo. Carol took like 12 pictures of this, so it must be something people want to see...
