Kai gets baptized
Today Kai had his baptism and a large amount of the family came down from Rhinelander, over from Milwaukee, and up from Madison and Chicago. I was pleased to see so many came to join us on this special day. Mom, Dad, Sean, Paula, David, Carissa, and my Aunt and Uncle all stayed in a hotel last night. We had a good time watching Jasmine, Mel, and Hannah all chase each other around last night. The fun started when we all went out to eat at the Log Cabin in Baraboo. David found an inch worm on his person and showed the girls and they were thrilled with the little creature. The worm was set free and we ran back to the hotel to get the kids in the pool. The girls all went for a swim and seemed to enjoy themselves. Jasmine is doing so well with the water; she can be dunked and doesn't panic about it, which will help when it comes time to teach her how to swim.
Kai took the baptism well no crying or fussing, just quiet observation came from those little blue eyes of his. Mom says he is an old soul like my father and I, but only time will tell if that is true. He is such a good baby. I can only hope that Paula has a boy in January so he will have someone to play with too, Jasmine and Mel are so close in age they play really well together. There will be the same age gap between the new addition and Kai, so I am really hoping she has a boy.
I spent the last week in Rhinelander while Chris got to go to his conference (vacation) in Vegas. I didn't get as much done as I would have liked to but so it goes when you have two children. I decided to leave our cat Tim there for my parents to deal with for the next week or so before we come back up for Thanksgiving. The cat is neurotic if we leave him alone for any amount of time and traveling is stressful for him, so we decided it would be best for him to visit his other cat pals for the two weeks we are gone. Hopefully he doesn't eat my parents out of house and home. He out weighs all of their cats by at least five to twelve pounds depending on which cat you compare him to.
Mom threw her back out at the beginning of the the week so she was in a large amount of pain the whole time I was home. I wish I could have been more of a help, but there wasn't much I could do other then try to keep Jasmine from killing her back worse. In the last few years almost every time my mom has been sick or hurt herself I have just happened to be home to help out a little bit. I suppose it is kind of like her coming down here just before I had Kai and then me going into labor. It was the best possible situation she could stay here with Jasmine and take care of her while we were gone. It is funny how it seems to work that way with my mom and I.
