All Baptized Up

There's a story for every picture. And I should be making time to tell how Samantha boldly took tantrums to a whole new level during the service, didn't mind getting wet, wouldn't sit in our pew, and then marched down the aisle after the procession and danced with the choir, fell backwards and hit her head, but did not cry, and then the old church pastor came up to us at the end and said, "you might need to do her twice, seems the devil was about half way up to her belly..." not sure what this meant and Ben assures me he was kidding, but, yeah, Samantha was definitely making her own way. And then another guy told us that it will be a crying shame if we do not get her into hockey. Stat.

Rub a dub dub three babes in a tub. Hmmm, second time they all got dunked today.

And LOOK at that banner. It is my Mother's Day present. While I was in Germany, Ben & Brad lined the girls up to spell "Happy Mothers Day" yep, look close, a picture for every letter. And the girls are scrubbed and matching. Good job Ben! You set the bar tooooo high.
