Baptism


Andrew was baptized today.
It went well even though we got a rough start. Just as we were leaving the house a HUGE storm blew in. It knocked a tree over outside my condo and we had to drive several miles out of our way because there were power lines down right outside the church. Our church is undergoing a major construction project so the front of the church looks very different than what I'm used to.


The baptism went well. Andrew was very charming while the pastor held him.

We came home, had a yummy dinner and opened baptism and Father's Day presents.


Mommy's letting me have cake?? It MUST be a special day!


I am a VERY good present opener!








Gramma and Grandad gave Andrew a Creation Globe. It's VERY neat. It is a set of 6 nesting globes--each globe representing a different day of the Creation story.


The pre-nap meltdown begins.


Post nap-more presents.
