Brooklyn's Baptism Weekend



We had a jam-packed weekend. We stayed at the lake house Friday night, and got to see some of Erik's family on Saturday morning. Happily, Erik's aunt Ruth was in town, and she and his grandma Verla drove up to see us.

Then, it was off to Annette and Harlow's for a family get together. Simon really liked being able to run and play on an acreage. Mom and Dad didn't have to keep pulling him away from this street-thing they keep telling him about.

The next morning, Nancy competed in the Sioux Falls Half-Marathon. She did really well, 25th out of all 559 women that ran it. We were glad she was so quick, because we had to hurry back for Brooklyn's Baptism.

Brooklyn is Simon's youngest cousin and Erik and Nancy were her Baptismal Sponsors. Simon sits on pews as well as he sit on waffle-irons, so he went to brunch with Erik's parents and his great-aunt Ruth, and his great-grandma Verla.

It was a busy weekend for Simon, so he was a bit irritable for the after-party.

Anyway, I know... tl;dr. Here's some pics.
