at least now she won't be stuck in limbo



Jane's baptism was yesterday. Usually, when there is a baptism at at Catholic church (not sure if it's the same elsewhere too), there are several babies. For whatever reason, Jane was the only one yesterday, so the service was a little more personalized. It was really, really nice, I must say. It was one of the first times I really felt like a parent! The deacon kind of discounted all of the reasons babies used to be baptised (see the aforementioned "limbo") and gave a more modern talk. Afterwards, we had about 30 people over for lunch and festivities. It has been a long week of preparation for this event - so now I feel like my vacation is truly beginning - with a whole two days left! Argh! I will never plan a vacation around a big event that is going to take place at my house, because, no matter how much I try not to, I will obsess over getting everything ready and stress myself out more than if I were at work!


Anyway, whether or not you are a fan of the whole "church" and "baptism" thing, you must admit Jane looked quite cute, no? Such a girlie girl!

Aww... Jane's so pretty. I just realized that my comment on any post containing a picture of Jane begins with "awww..." Sorry, that's annoying. But she's so cute! And looking so holy in her white dress.

Congrats! (Is that what you say?) Well, good job, anyway. And whenever you want to swear in front of Jane, just start singing "I enjoy being a girl" instead.
