Having not posted yesterday, there is a lot to share.
Natalie's baptism was on Sunday, the 30th of October. There were 7 children being baptized and even though Grandpa reported that the water was cold, none of them protested. It was a very nice day. Here are some photos (copy this link below) - taken by Russell from our camera. I hope to get all of the other photos taken as well.

Michelle Chin was her sponsor and proudly joined Stephen, Lexi and I at the font while Grandpa did the baptism and Pastor Kidd did the anointing. It was cool but sunny. Natalie wore the Hovick baptismal gown for the service and then Granny's and Mom's baptismal outfit for the lunch afterwards.
Then Natalie had her 1 month check up on Monday, the 31st. She now weighs 11 lbs, 3.5 ounces and has grown an inch. She had a shot - Hepatitis B - and boy, did she wail. Her poor face was bright red frozen in a scream for a long time. The doctor was pleased with her progress.
Halloween night, Lexi dressed up as a giraffe - same costume 3 years running. I got it from the thrift store for less than 3 dollars. Great investment - hopefully, we can convince Natalie to wear it as well for future Halloween's. Lexi was a little braver about going up to people's doors (lots of stairs up in our neighborhood) but only managed to say "Trick or Treat" outloud at one house. She got a lot of candy - people were quite generous, I thought. Lexi almost seemed more interested in handing out candy at home than collecting it herself. We had to talk her into going out.
