So today was the Big Day — baptism for little Kirstin. It went really well and was the first church service that she actually sat through completely. Weird. Or ironic, I guess. Anyway, Good Times were had by all. We had a really good meal afterwards in the basement at church. Just enough people where it was comfortable without being too overwhelming.
That’s what I’d hoped for. We even had a guest organist that came all the way from Mitchell, SD, for the event (as noted in the previous post). Great Times! The service and dinner (and gift opening after) made for a bit of a long morning and midday, but it was all good.
I don’t really have a lot more to ramble on about this right at the moment — it went off about as well as it could have. The service was well-done (I know Pastor had been looking forward to it for some time), the music — excellent, the food — filling, and the gathering — enjoyable. Much as I enjoy people, though, it was really nice to come home and really do nothing but hang around with my girls and critters. Something to be said about the simple joys of life, right?
Anyway, seeing as how it’s now past 11, I’m heading for bed. Until next time…
