Today was a very special day for our little guy... Cameron was Baptized! We are thankful for the family and for KK and family and Ron and Francis for coming! Big Frank, Dorthy, and Virginia came up this weekend from Austin, but Big Frank was not feeling well this morning so Dorthy stayed with him while Virginia (GG) came to the service.
Cameron was dressed so handsomely with his linen while shirt and pants, and the tie that made the blue in his eyes stand out even more. As the preacher held him before the congregation he even commented that his eyes were the bluest he has seen. :) Then we moved to where the holy water was for the baptism. Just as the preacher was placing the water on his head and praying for him, while we all laid our hands on him, little guy decided to get his hands on the preachers microphone. He grabbed it and jostled it enough to kill the mic! The preacher was graceful and made light of it, but instead of preaching his Palm Sunday sermon hands free, he had to use his hand held microphone. :) I then took Cam to the nursery because I hoped he could get a little nap since the service was during nap time. Then I was able to sneak back in during one of the hymns. Emerson was the best behaved she has ever been during a church service. We didn't even have toys for her to play with, but she sat there watching and listening and was so good. I just couldn't believe it. Afterwards we came back to the house to enjoy some lunch that I mostly got from Cafe Max. They have delicious chicken salad, pasta salad, and I also bought their caesar dressing. I also had a few other treats, a cake I ordered, and CC & PaulPaul brought cookies they made. Big Frank and Virginia had a little bit to eat and then hit the road to get back to Austin since Frank was not feeling well. I hate that they came all this way and that he felt so terrible... I know they wanted to be able to enjoy this time, too. :( We all ate and then after that opened up Cameron's baptism gifts and some Easter gifts since we are planning to go to Austin for Easter. The kids both had a really fun time playing with the toys and gifts... They were both in need of naps after this... we all needed a nap actually! Here are some pictures from today.
Sweet smiles before the service.
