10/10/10 - Happy Baptism, Amelia!

Today was Amelia's big day!! Baptism day, and we were very excited! Today I put aside the BS excuses from people who "couldn't" make it, and didn't pay any mind to the people who didn't even care enough to respond to my invitation, and just celebrated the wonderful event with the people who mean the most to us! It's events like this that remind you who in your life deserves your time, and who doesn't. And, the constant excuses and no-shows will no longer be forgotten, or tolerated, by us...

Christian and I were up early finishing up some final cleaning and food preparation. Then, we all got ready in our Sunday best! We decided to have a taco bar for lunch, and my mother in law brought the rice, beans and salsa. After they dropped that off, we all headed over to the church to meet everybody. The girls did so great during the service, I was amazed! And, the baptism was beautiful. After the service, we all headed back to the house, ate some yummy food and spent some time together.

Everybody was gone by 2:30, we put the girls down for their naps, quickly did some cleaning up and we both caught a quick nap ourselves! We took it easy the rest of the night. It was a busy, chaotic weekend, and we were EXHAUSTED! Time to get ready for my first FULL week back to work...it's going to be a LOOOOONG week!

Here are some pictures from the baptism...
