Baptême
Last Friday was Assumption, a big holiday in France and an even bigger holiday for us, as James was baptized at the church of the Immaculate Conception in Don, France! We are extremely proud parents: not only did he not cry during the ceremony, not only was he not fussy or fidgety during the ceremony, but he actually seemed to hang on the priest's every word: he was wide-eyed and adorable throughout the whole thing! You have to see it to believe it: the movie is posted on James' website (password required).
After the baptism we adjourned to our house to celebrate as only the French can: with a 12-hour meal! We had over 20 people over and set up a couple of tents in the back yard to fit everybody; it was quite a party.
There is another movie, of the party, that I'll be putting up soon, as well as lots and lots of pictures. Stay tuned!
