We’re having a very quiet Sunday evening after a fairly hectic day today and yesterday. We’re in New Wilmington, PA at our daughter Dawnmarie’s house. The event was granddaughter Jillian’s baptism.<\/p>\n
We arrived last Tuesday evening. We drove down to Heather’s house in North Salt Lake on Monday evening and boarded a flight for Houston, Texas early Tuesday morning. After a short layover in Houston (which included a gate change to a rather distant gate) we continued on to Cleveland. Very uneventful flights. The car rental place at the Cleveland Hopkins Airport is quite a ways away from the terminal. Hopefully I’ll be able to find it without much difficulty tomorrow evening. We rented a Chevy Alero and drove to Dawnmarie’s place where we’ve been since then.<\/p>\n
We’ve had a great time visiting with the family. Granddaughter Kate is the lead actress in a children’s playhouse adaptation of Hans Christian Anderson’s “The Snow Queen”. We attended one of her seven performances and were literally blown away by how well she performs. She’s quite the natural actress!<\/p>\n
Our son Daryl drove over from Downingtown in eastern PA on Thursday. Our oldest son James drove up from Covington, KY on Saturday, so we had a good family contingent here for the baptism today. It started snowing yesterday and looked like it might yield bad roads this morning, but fortunately the snow has been a non-event. Both Daryl and Jim drove back home this afternoon after the baptism and I’m happy that weather didn’t play a role in their travels.<\/p>\n
The baptism this afternoon after Church was delightful. Jillian looked rather angelic in the traditional baptismal dress. All of her sisters have worn the same dress at their baptism. There’s one more daughter Olivia to be baptized in a couple of years.<\/p>\n
Tomorrow morning after the grandkids go off to school, we’ll pack up and go over the Kirtland to visit with Nina’s sister Pam for the day. We’ll probably stop over at the Kirtland Visitors Center to see their nativity display and visit with an elderly woman Nina has been corresponding with. Then we’ll turn the rental car in, spend Monday night at a hotel near the Cleveland airport, and catch a very early flight on Tuesday morning headed back home. Just in time for the next round of family visiting over Christmas.<\/p>\n
