Maelle's baptism

It's been a little while since I have posted about my babies. Erik has been trying to convince me to post about the rest of my life more and about my pseudo babies less.... it seems to work for a while, but posts about my little ones always spill out.

Little Miss was baptized yesterday at our church. The picture below shows just how little our church is!! Well, to be fair there are some people to the right that aren't visible. It is pretty tiny though and I really love it.

Sam and Milena (Maelle's parents), sang a song that they wrote for Maelle during the service. It was beautiful!!! It is something that Maelle will cherish when she's older. Their song made acutely aware of my complete lack of musical talent. I wish I could put my heart into words the way they managed to. 

Yup, I took a picture while we were praying for Little Miss and her family. I was multi-tasking... though Sawyer's papa shushed me. Apparently my camera (which was muted and had no flash) was too distracting for him. Look at how cute Maelle is in her fancy white dress!

We went for lunch at S and M's after the service. Erik even got a little snuggle in! Seriously, he is so good with babies. He is a self-acclaimed "King of Babies". They love him! And he loves them. He really calls himself that because whenever we are babysitting I take care of the babies until they have been crying for over an hour and then he swoops in and puts them to sleep within 10 minutes. I claim that they are just ready to go to sleep because they've been crying for so long, but he thinks he has magical powers... and proudly declares "I am the King of Babies." This declaration is often accompanied by him pointing at himself triumphantly.

Other than that, not much has been going on here. Homework seems to be never ending, but this is the final push of the semester and I really don't have too much to complain about. January may be another story... but we'll cross that bridge when we get there.

Oh, I also have a bunch of half-finished Christmas presents strewn across my house. I'm slowly checking them off my list. Slowly, but surely. I think I only have three people I still have nothing for in Erik's family. That's not bad. I have a half finished Christmas garland lying on the floor in my living room too. It's a bunch of felt squares cut out and I'm threading them onto a string. I have to cut out way more squares though. I just went to Michael's a bought more felt so I will hopefully continue working on that this weekend. I wish my house was already decorated for Christmas, but I need to make my decorations and haven't had time yet AND we are getting a real tree this year so we have to wait a while to pick that one up. I love Christmas though. I love how cozy it is. I can't wait!!!

Have a wonderful evening!
