Maverick's Baptism

What a special day :) We had little Maverick bapitzed this morning at our church. As usual, he good for the service...and so was his big brother (whew!). Our regular pastor was on a mission trip this weekend, but Pastor Karen did a great job.

Maverick wore the same little outfit that Mitchell wore for his baptism back in 2008. They were both around 6 months old.

We were SO blessed to be surrounded by family for the occassion!

Our family of 4 :)

Jacob's Mom and Stepdad drove up from Oklahoma for the event! Pops is so playful with the boys...and Gran is so patient and helpful. We always enjoy their visits!

My Dad and Sherri with the boys.

We are lucky enough to see them all of the time! Can you tell? :)

Such a happy family :)

My sister, Kelli and Mark drove down from Minneapolis. Mitchell talks to Aunt Kel on the phone about once a week and always talks about Mark!

Mitchell's sidekick, Grandma also made the trip from Minneapolis. The two of them are currently sleeping together in Mitchell's bed. :)

We were very excited to have a visit from my Grandpa too! My cousin, Aunt & Uncle drove him up from Fredonia, KS. Here he is with his FIVE granddaughters and the man of the hour.

We had a little BBQ for our family on Saturday night, followed by the actual baptism ceremony on Sunday morning. What's a celebration without a cake!

I now understand how special the bond is between a mom and her son :)

My cousin, Erica and her boyfriend, Chris. They are both teachers and are so good with kids! We are happy to have them as a babysitting option now and then!

Even good boys can only stay clean for so long!!!!
