Today’s was Riley’s Baptism in Brookfield, WI. My brother came down and picked me up this morning then we went with his family and our parents to the church. Riley is so cute! And so tiny! When I saw her for the first time I asked Nancy if she had put hair product in her hair since it wasn’t all sticking up like the photos I’d seen before.
I was kind of stressed out about what the sponsors would have to do during the baptism ceremony, especially since there were about 500 people there, but it turned out not to be too bad. Also, Nancy and Josh belong to a sort of progressive Lutheran church so the service went by quickly.. not too much old fashioned preaching, a lot of singing with a band. They even had a big screen where they Power Pointed out the entire service, along with song lyrics. So they didn’t need any heavy hymnals or books.
After the church service my brother and dad fretted about not being able to watch the Packer Game (they actually won!) while the rest of us had lunch and watched Nancy, Josh & Riley open their gifts. It was good to see all of Nancy & Josh’s families again. I feel like some of them are my extended family.
Later on Amanda had to go to work, but the rest of my family rode down to Chicago. We had dinner at Penny’s Noodles and my 8-year-old niece impressed us all by eating her entire meal with her chopsticks. I don’t think I learned to eat with chopsticks until I moved to California in my early/mid-20s.
