Busy and Exciting Weekend

This past weekend was a very special weekend for our family. We were finally able to have Garet baptised. We had planned to have him baptised before he went into the hospital but that was delayed a little while. So this past weekend we had a great time with family and friends. Garet looked like such a little man in his outfit. He is just growing up to fast. When we were sitting at the house before church I was kind of getting worried because Garet had not taken a nap yet that morning. Well the short car ride to church was enough to do the trick. He slept threw the first part of church and woke up just in time for his baptism.

Garet and Pastor Roger did a great job during the baptism. Garet was in a good mood and had no issue with having Pastor Roger putting the water on his head. Garet even gave a few smile as Pastor Roger walked up and down the isle with him to show him off to the church.

We were very lucky to have so many family and friends there to share in this exciting time in Garets life. Uncle Erik was able to come down from IL and stand up and take the responsibility of being Garets God father. Aunt Amanda was there as well and will be the best God mother that Garet could ask for.

Garet has started to like having his picture taken so he had no problem with all the pictures that we wanted to take after church and then some more when we got back to the house.

When we got to the Church Sunday afternoon, there were some beautiful flower waiting there for Garet. His Great Aunt Ginny from IL had sent flowers to the church to help make it look beautiful on Garets special day.

When we got back to the house we were all able to change into some comfy clothes. Aunt Sheri had bought all the boys matching outfits and wanted to take on the task of trying to get them to take some pictures together.
We got some pictures of the three cousins all together and from these we can for sure say that boys will be boys and it will be fun to show them these when they get older.

We had a great cake that Grany brought and Garet thought it would be fun to stick his foot in it while we were trying to take his picture. If he had been just a little bit older we might had let him lick it off, but we did not want to take any chances with giving him really sugary food like that.

Garet got some special gifts to help him remember the day when he gets bigger. He did a great job of opening them up. He was more interested in the paper than the gift but it was fun to see him try to rip the paper and put it in his mouth.

When everyone had gone home it was nap time for both Garet and Grandpa. This is the first time in a long time that he has taken a nap on his belly like this. He normally does not take very long naps on his belly because he always wakes himself up. But with it being such a busy day I think he could have slept anyway. What a better way to sleep then on Grandpas belly.

We ended the weekend with the Jaguar game and daddy had to make sure that Garet had his #1 fan shirt on to give the Jaguars as much help as we could.

We have many more pictures is anyone is interested I will have them burned on a cd or I can email them out to you just let me know. After this weekend we are ready to just have a few weekends to just sit back and relax.
