Saturday, was Leah's baptism. Carol and David are her godparents. We had a nice ceremony at Holly's church (though I think Dennis and I were spoiled in Richmond, they have much nicer ceremony's there). It was nice that it was a private ceremony though. Leah cried for the second half of the ceremony, unfortunately. She was hungry and since I am nursing that obviously had to wait. It was funny though, because she stopped crying when they poured the water on her head and then started up again when that was over. Because she was hungry and crying, we had to skip most of the pictures at the church. I was sad to not get some good ones there, but so is the way things go with babies.
We had a nice reception at Holly's house. Leah ate and was happy again, so we were able to snap a few photos. For most of the family this was the first time they had seen her. She then went down for a nap and was asleep for hours! While she slept, Pete put up a moon bounce and all the cousins had a blast playing outside. Most people stayed till pretty late and then the grown ups played Catan once most the kids were in bed. It was a nice day and a reminder of why it stinks living so far away. I really wish my kids could be around their cousins more often!
Today, we got up and drove back to Indy. Both drives were pretty successful. They didn't take much longer than they usually take us (about 10 hours and 45 mins). Leah was great. She mostly slept and was quiet and happy the other times. When she needed to eat we all got out and used the restroom. The boys watched shows and played games on iPads the whole time, so they were great. In fact, the only speed bump we hit was when Logan threw up a couple hours into our drive home and Dennis and I had to pull over and change him and clean the mess. Colin and Evan didn't even know that had happened or that we had ever even pulled over, they were so mesmerized by the iPads! Luckily, Logan was fine after he took a long nap in the car, so I'm not sure why he got sick.
Anyway, it was a nice Spring Break in VA and we are all sad to get back to reality tomorrow!
