this weekend was a very special weekend in my life. mommy and daddy knew before i was even born that they would one day have me baptized in our church, cherry creek presbyterian church. well, this past sunday was the big day! gampa, grammie, and greats all got to come and be part of it...and it was really neat to actually be baptized by my gampa (a very special honor that our church was gracious to allow), just like my cousins jackson and anabel were years ago.

A Word from Mommy...

A friend of mine shared a beautiful song via Facebook about the love of a mom and how it gets you through even all the sleepless nights. It made me think of what James and Owen gave me for Christmas - a DVD that included a few different home movies we've taken over the last few months, as well as the most amazing slideshow of photos with a beautiful, tear-jerker of a song playing in the background. I thought I'd share that video with you and hope you are as touched by the words as I was...especially all of you mommies out there!

i'm a big boy now!

today i went with mommy and daddy to run some errands around town. i got to sit up in a high chair during lunch and then in a shopping cart (no car seat necessary) at babies r us. i'm sure all the other babies were envious of me sitting up like a big boy.
