Baptism

So this Sunday was the kids' baptism! It was a really wonderful time! We were so blessed to have Mike's parents in town for an extended weekend! The baptism was so wonderful. . .that is considering THE TWO YEAR OLD! She did not want to be up there at all! All of her friends were sitting on the ground, so guess where she wanted to be. She pitched a royal fit! She fought the pastor to "get down." The best is when she looks at Mike and I and cries, "WHAT IS HAPPENING TO NO-REN??" It was typical! Otherwise, it was just so special! Zach was an angel! Although we couldn't hardly squeeze him into the 6-9 month outfit we bought for him last month! He did look rather cute though. What an awesome responsibility we've been given! God is good!

Zach and Grandpa at the reception!
They were so mean to my pot-bellied boy! Life is good! They thought about giving him a beer can :)!

My sweet friend Tish made these amazing gifts for Loren and Zach! I will put their pictures in them to remember the day! She took a lot of time to make something so adorable for my children!

Mom and her buddy Debbie! This is a typical pose. . .them grinning ear to ear! I'm sure some "Piglet" joke was involved!

Grandma and her girl!

The beautiful (and delicious) cake Tish made for my kids! She is so talented!
