Walker's Baptism (& Andrea and Rogan came to visit!)

 My apologies for the break in blogging. We (ahem, Grayson) lost the camera cord. But that's no excuse really.

Walker was Baptized May 19th of this year by Father Clay at St. Philip's, our home Church. We really loved being with the family who all came together to celebrate this special time in Walker's life! Andrea and Rogan are Walker's Godparents and we can't think of anyone better to set great examples for our child. Their balance of hard work, strong ethics and morals, faith and good ol' fashion clean fun and living life big is how we hope our boys will live their lives. 

We had everyone over to the house for lunch following the service. It was so special to have everyone gathered for this. I know they all could have been doing a million other things on their Sunday but they chose to spend this time with us. And we love them for it.

A big thank you to Cousin Scott for taking these photos! We sprung this on him 5 minutes before the service and he was a doll to take such wonderful pictures!

And so we did just that :)

Walker being Baptized

He didn't cry at all - my precious boy

He is such an easy baby :)

We did it! Ha ;)

Big smiles with Uncle Reyn 

Never wake a sleeping baby! Poor Andrea - good thing she has good arm muscles

I know, I know, we should have awakened him for the photos :/

After the service

And THEN we got him out of his car seat for pictures with Father Clay. Not that he woke up! ;)

My boy Grayson had a rough morning.  But he sure can pull off a dress shirt with basketball shorts!

We really didn't get any pictures of the after party. But here's a recap: Grayson slept through the whole thing, Walker was passed around by adoring family members, good coffee and mimosas, better convo and fun. We love our family and are so blessed!
