Today was Cordie's big day. We began with Dutch Babies for breakfast along with gifts for the day. Then it was off to the baptism at 10:30. It was a very nice service with a cute video of Cordie and Jesus Christ. Of course Kristi provided fantastic refreshments which I enjoyed too much. We enjoyed our visit with their friends who came to the baptism. Karl's brother and mother were here for the baptism too. After the baptism, we all went to lunch (which I didn't need). When we returned home Karl and Justin started cutting down one of the many dead trees on their property. A problem developed when the tree started falling the wrong way. Karl was very concerned it would fall towards the house and do a lot of damage (I was not concerned as it looked like it was going to settle in between the other trees it was leaning towards). While Kristi, Justin and Phyllis went to buy a come-a-long, rope and ladder in hopes of pulling the tree away from the house the tree just kept settling further into the trees. After about 5 hours the tree was finally safe on the ground and Karl cut it into smaller pieces.
After all the tree excitement Cordie wanted a fire to make Somemores. So a fire was built in their fire pit and we roasted hot dogs and Somemores. For Cordie it was a special day from start to finish.
