Catching Up: Part 4 - The Big Baptism

On May 19th 2013, we were happy to baptize two additional members of the family and add another set of God parents to the required-to-buy gifts list.  While the spiritual aspects of the day were very meaningful, far better for blog purposes is the fact that the pictures came out exceptional.  Everyone was dressed in their Pentecost red, and even James looked at the camera and smiled in some of them.  We are genuinely afraid that this may be as cute as the kids ever get.  Poor Henry, peaked at 9 months.  So without further suspense . . .

Henry was a very good sport

"I will with God's help."

"Oh wow. I am not sure what that flame is, but I want it."

"Whatever it is, I can hold it for you mom."

"I suppose I could be the center of attention for a little while."

Two family pictures with everyone dressed, clean, and smiling at the camera.  We didn't think it could be done until we saw these.  Brie sewed Caroline's dress, James' shorts, and Henry's baptism outfit.



A couple pictures with the newly-added God parents.  These folks were always part of the family, but now it's official.  They can't back out now!


The whole family . . . wondering "Where's Trey?"


There's Trey, now where is Mabel?

We got all the Grandkids!!!

Congratulations to all! The photos are beautiful, and the family looks terrific.

When I admired your previous post, I was so glad to see Grandad made it down for the Scottish games. How much fun! You all definitely know how to have a good time.

Missing you and sending lots of hugs.
