First swim lesson

We baptized our baby girl on Sunday, and things did not go swimmingly. We needed to do an emergency diaper change about five minutes before the baptism, and most of that time was spent trying to find a suitable place to do that. I'll spare you the details, but I will say I could have really used a hose. As a result, she was slightly late for her own baptism (takes after her mother). This apparently did not make her happy, because she wailed during the whole ceremony, stopping only to catch her breath. The cops showed up because the neighbors called to complain about the noise.

OK, I made that last bit up.

I guess she was trying to make up for her brothers, who were no trouble at all during their baptisms.

Oh man, that's a great story! Well, at least from this perspective anyway! ;-)

Kalina was confirmed on Sunday. One of her teenage friends was confirmed and baptized as well. You would have loved the look on our Sr. Pastor's face as the Assoc. Pastor carried the teenage girl around the sanctuary presenting her to the congregation like they do with the babies. Definitely a Kodak moment!
