Five for Friday #27: Earth's Baptism, D's 40th Birthday, and Every Day Life

High five, friends, we made it to Friday!  This week was a busy one for us, starting with Earth's baptism and ending with D's 40th birthday.  There was a bunch of normal family stuff in between but here are the high lights:

#1
Earth's Baptism
Job and Earth before the baptism

(A funny story about the baptism gown: when I was walking back to the fellowship hall after changing Earth into it, I saw five different ribelle women who all said how sweet Earth looked and how wonderful it was that he was wearing a family heirloom.  Then I walked into the hall and Elizabeth saw him.  The look on her face when she saw the dress was a combination of surprise, shock, and disgust- it was so funny that I actually bent over laughing about it.  We had to have friends reassure her that the dress was an American tradition and we laughed about it the whole day.)

#2
Earth is two months old
and growing- he's up to 10lbs 9oz.  He's eating and sleeping well and still ordered by his older siblings

Earth's getting bigger but he has a while to go to catch up with Fire!

D turned 40 this week!  We kept the party mellow with an open-invite get-together at the house.  D chilled off all the home brew that he had left and we grilled some brats for dinner.  I surprised D with a cheesecake and the party wrapped up around 9pm (we're big party animals here!).

Most of the time our kids are good eaters but one night this week, I had to help all of them eat- which meant that Sky and Fire were on my lap while I coaxed them, and Water sitting next to me, to take bites.  That's life sometimes, right?
 
#5
After our pack out this week, we're focusing on shopping the pantry.  I promise, it's usually way more organized this but all of our storage bins were packed.  Lentils, anyone?
 
 
How was  your week?  Got any good lentil recipes to share (!)?
