A couple of weekends ago, we went up to Elmhurst to visit our grandparents and go to our baby cousin Elizabeth's baptism (her nickname is Elly). They day before her baptism, on Saturday, my mom and I (Kelsey) went to my Aunt Becky's baby shower (we haven't updated in so long, so she's now had her baby, Nathaniel Justin Horne!). There, we had dessert foods, soda, and punch. We played games, like trying to guess what characteristics Becky wanted the baby to have between her and Justin (for example, whose eyes, whose ears, etc.). We also got twenty birthday cards, and each person chose a card to write to Nathaniel. On each of his birthdays for the next twenty years, he'll receive a card from someone who was at his shower! Then on Sunday morning, bright and early, we drove to Aurora, where Aunt Cori and Uncle Ben live. We went to their church for mass and Elly's baptism. After that we had some time to kill while Uncle Ben finished cooking lunch (barbeque sandwiches). We sat at a McDonald's with the rest of the Hardings and the Volmers (Cori's family). Then we went back over to the church for lunch and dessert. After that, we hit the road back home so we could be home in time for school and work on Monday.

It was so nice having you at the shower. You were such a great help - as usual - and the decorations and prizes turned out so nice. I thought it was fun when the boys crashed our shower.
I can't wait to see who Nathan's first birthday card will be from. Can you believe he's already six months old? I can't.
