Lane's Baptism
Yesterday my oldest, Lane got baptized. It was a very special day especially because Luke got to baptize him. Lane played it very cool up until right before when he realized that he still had a bunch of unanswered questions - not about being a christian, but about how deep the water was, how long he would be under, etc. I think he just got a wee bit nervous.
We let him pick out where he wanted to eat dinner and ended up at Mazzio's. He was very relieved it was over.
1 down...3 to go :-)

Pictures from the weekend

Nephew, Parker kicking back playing the guitar
There was so much food for the Thanksgiving meal that we had to have a table for it alone. We needed about 3 plates each to hold all the food - well...maybe I should just speak for myself.
Papa and Olivia enjoyed relaxing on the couch while watching football - Olivia wasn't too into the football and headed for the outdoors where there were LOTS of boys to play with.

Olivia had her Thanksgiving presentation at preschool last week. It was so precious. She dressed up and sang a couple songs. She said she didn't like getting up on stage b/c she was just a little scared.11/15/2006
Church Performance
I had just mentioned to a friend at our new church that I always get a little nervous when Cam gets up on stage. Never know what he might do. Well, at the end of the Stomp and Praise musical that the children performed they had the kids stay still for the parents to take pictures and it wasn't until I got home and downloaded the pictures did I see what Cam was doing! The top picture is the original and the second one is a zoomed in image.
Below are some pictures of Ryder that I took right after he woke up. I love it when he wakes up in a great mood with his crazy hair. I put him on our bed and within minutes the other kids are on the bed playing with him. What's really nice about Ryder in the morning is that he doesn't have morning breath yet!

Something different
No pictures today - just an update on life in Bartlesville.
Went to the Walmart today. I think everyone else in Bartlesville had the same idea!
I also went to Tulsa today with a couple friends to get a sales tax id # for the photography business. It was a lot easier than I thought. We stopped in Owasso for a little shopping - there is actually something besides Walmart there. Exciting.
The best part of the day was drinking a "real" soy chai at Starbucks. Oh how I miss those. I also found out that Garth Brooks has a house in Owasso. It's pretty this time of year in this part of Oklahoma. The big trees are beautiful with their leaves turning.
Olivia had ballet today. She LOVES it. Her teacher is real young and fun. Olivia asked if she could come over and play some day ;-). It was costume day today, so she got to wear her Minny Mouse costume to dance in. I really wish I could have taken some pictures of that!
Tomorrow is Luke's birthday. Not sure what all we will be doing. He has had so many people send him sweet cards. He said he is loved. ;-) Good feeling. The kids will help me give him his 32 spankings.
I really miss all my friends back home. Hello everyone! I hope to come visit you soon!!

Fall Hay Ride
On Friday we went with a group from the church on a hayride. It was so much fun. The property was beautiful and the weather was perfect. It was chilly - but I wouldn't want to be on a hayride and roast hotdogs and marshmallows on a warm day! The kids had a blast! Below are some pictures - I think we are going to make this a tradition for the Melsas.
