Yesterday, Robert was baptized. It was during the Easter Mass, so the church was full full full. The God Parents were: Bozena Happach and Mark Gierus (but Alex's brother couldn't come, so we had a proxy: a close friend and neighbor: Hugo). Afterwards we had people over for Easter / Baptism celebrations. It was a great day!

Today was Father's day, the end of Father's Day weekend.  It was one of the best weekends in a long time.  Jakub made me a picture and a box at art class on Friday -- fabulous!  When I called home from work on Friday Jakub was so excited to tell me all about how he drew the sky and sun and grass.  As you can see he is very abstract.

Bogusia took me bike shopping and we dropped quite a bit of cash on a new bike for me, kid's seats, and a few other bike accessories.  Almost bought a canoe as well, but we figure in the end we'll rent until season's end and then buy a discounted boat.

Yesterday we did a lot of outdoor stuff including taking a paddle-boat down the canal by Atwater.  Small hint:  paddle boats are not very fun; go in a canoe or kayak instead unless you want a lot of excercise.
