baptism

Today my cousin Dallas was baptized.  It was an extra special event because his brother Dustin had just returned from a mission to New York City.  We were all invited to the church for the baptism and a family dinner afterwards.

Katelyn was having kind of a rough day but she was a good sport about everything.  She had been recovering from an ear infection and cold.  But by the end of the week she seemed to be doing fine.  She woke up this morning with a tiny fever from teething.  Instead of napping, she sat out in the living room with Dave and I watching Baby Einstein and eating Twizzlers.  By the time we were ready to go the infant Tylenol had worked its magic and we made the one hour drive with Aunt Lauren in the backseat feeding her chicken nuggets from McDonald's.

For the past several months Kate has been pretty picky about when she will smile for the camera.  She is on to us and doesn't really care to flash a grin or even look in the direction of the photographer.  In fact, I think she looks away on purpose just to be stubborn.

(I wonder where she gets that from?)

I'm so glad we were invited to such a special event.  It was so great to see family members and enjoy some time together.
