Today (July 17th) Reese was baptised at Pilgrim United Church in Edmonton. It was a very nice service and a wonderful day. Church began at 11 am and the Baptism was at the end of the service. We always get a bit nervous towards the end of the service, as the kids usually start getting tired of sitting!! Blake was unbelievable ... he sat so still and quiet for most of the service. My Dad asked me if I'd read him the riot act, but all I asked him to do was to be quiet and listen! And he was actually listening and paying attention :) Afterwards he told us we should come more often, which made me feel guilty because we really don't go often enough!! Emerson did good too! She wondered around between us, Grandma and Grandpa D and Grandpa Bruce, but kept pretty quiet! They've hired 2 new Sunday school staff, who start in September so I promised Blake and Em we'd make a better effort to attend Church! Reese did great too! She gave a little squeak during the ceremony and Rev. Wasyk apologized for the cold water ;) We were given the Baptismal Candle and everyone who attended church today signed an "I witnessed your Baptism" sheet for us to have as a keepsake. After church everyone came back to our house for lunch. We missed a few of our family and friends as everyone is busy with summer activities and weddings, but thank everyone who came and those who sent well wishes and gifts :)
