wow! what a busy weekend!
it started off thursday, when the temps here in portland hit summertime degrees-high 80's threatening into the 90's. we've all been riding our bikes in. jean-luc in the trailer with me, and amelia with lisa on the tag-a-long. it's been so great.
friday it did reach the 90's, just in time for the friday pizza party at mississippi pizza. we met travis and addie and mandy there, along with andrew, sophia and veronica. we were ramping up for an exciting baptism weekend.
when we got home that night, we got word that the priest at amelia's church, father painter, had passed away. he was scheduled to perform her baptism on sunday. lisa told amelia that father painter had died, and she seemed to be ok with it, but i could tell it was affecting her.
well sunday came and the ceremony was sweet. amelia was such a darling, and jean-luc even behaved himself. we had a small get together at the house, then i took amelia to a classmate's birthday party at tryon creek state park. we had a scavenger hunt and painted terracotta pots. afterward, amelia and i hung out on hawthorne before heading home.
this morning we all rode in again. what a beautiful day!
