What a LONG and happy weekend! I guess I should start with Yesterday - Grandpa Krug's Birthday! Mommy, Daddy, and I went to church in the morning for Baptism Class, and then we went to Grandma and Grandpa Krug's House for lunch to celebrate Grandpa's Birthday. He had a Birthday PIE! Daddy, again, had to go to Bach choir in the afternoon, but Mommy and I hung out in Nazareth. Mommy's friends Lorna and Emily came over to meet me! I had met Lorna before, but it was so nice to finally meet Emily - and Emily's mom came over, too. BONUS! When we finally got home we took a trip to the mall to get ready for today's Mother's Day/Baptism festivities.
Today was a BIG day. Most importantly, I got Baptized. It was pretty fun. Mom, Dad, and I got to stand up in front of the whole church, and then Pastor Dave poured water on my head. After that he held me for a little bit to introduce me to everyone. They all thought it was so funny when I yawned, but seriously, it wasn't that big of a deal. I get shown off and passed around on a daily basis! Grandma made the outfit that I wore, hat and shoes and all. She also made Mommy's dress! We keep her so busy with sewing projects. I also wore some blingbling, a baby ring that has been passed down through generations, and all the babies in the family have worn it.
Second most importantly, it was Mother's Day. It's actually a really important day, and it's almost too bad that it gets second billing to my Baptism, but Mommy planned it that way. It was her FIRST mother's day, and Daddy and I got her a card, a massage, and a mani/pedi. She definitely deserves a little pampering.
And third most importantly today was my Sweet 16 (weeks), so we had a PARTY. I'll admit that the party was really to celebrate my Baptism and mother's day, but who doesn't love a Sweet 16? All of my Grandparents, Uncle Joe and Aunt Debbie were there. My Great-Grandparents, lots of Great Aunts and Uncles, and friends came, too! You can check out the photos to see everyone. We had quite the celebration at Grandma Krug's house. We had a Noah's Ark cake for my Baptism, and a heart cake for Mother's Day, and LOTS of food. Grandma is a good sport to let us have a party at her house.
It was a long and exciting day, and I am going to sleep really well tonight (at least Mommy hopes I do).
From Mommy:
Phew, what a weekend! Preston gave you most of the details, but I just wanted to add that I had a really wonderful first Mother's Day, and I couldn't have asked for a better way to celebrate it. We saw our Moms and Grandmas, and Preston was welcomed into our church family.
Of course there always has to be one blip in a perfect day, and that one blip had me totally freaking out tonight. When we got home from our busy day we knew we would have two very hungry cats to feed.... but only one showed up for dinner. Jack was MISSING. We looked everywhere inside (he's been known to get locked in closets), but he was no where to be found. We knew we had a problem; he's not an outdoor cat and by our calculations he had been outside for nearly 10 hours. We suspect he escaped when John was loading the car this morning. Needless to say, I freaked out. We searched everywhere, calling for him and shaking the dindin bag. I called my mom, hysterical, having visions of him wandering aimlessly or getting picked up by a neighbor. She brought me back to reality. Jack is a very nervous cat in new places and situations, and she assured me that he was just hiding somewhere close to home. She and Debbie decided to come over as moral support and to help look. The good news is that 20 minutes later, after searching under 3 sheds, I found him behind our garbage cans - as close to the house that he could get without being inside. It's a good thing that I found him, because even after we tried to coax him out with dindin, we still had to go move the cans to go in and get him. It proved to me that no matter how much I called him he wouldn't have come. He is safe and sound and acting like he owns the place (Susie is a little freaked out, we think he smells different to her). Mom and Debbie stayed for a few minutes and were glad they didn't need to be part of the search party.I was so mad at him for doing this to me on Mother's Day. He is, after all, one of my first babies.
We have lots of new photos to share on the Shutterfly, and I'll post some highlights tomorrow. Preston is a little lovey, so giggly and smiley.
