Jack's Baptism

On Sunday, July 20th, 2008 at 10:30 AM Jack was Baptised by Reverend David at Ingleside United Methodist Church. Nina is a member of this Church and it is where Nick and I were married in June of 2004. Sadly the sanctuary where we were married burned down so the Service was held in the room where they have been holding Services while waiting patiently for their beautiful Church to be rebuilt.
Jack was so well behaved (with the help of Wub and Cheerios) before and after his Baptism.
Here we are at the front with the Reverend.
Jack kept turning around to wave at the congregation-he knew it was all about him :)
Not to sure about things once it was time for him to leave our arms but did great considering the little sleep he had at night on this trip, missing his morning nap, and being held by a stranger in a room full of people staring at him.
Our little boy has been blessed!
Jack with his Godparents- Deborah and Eric
Back at Papa and Bebe's house everyone was ready to chow down on Jambalaya, Caine's, and finger sandwiches. Even though Jack ate a bunch of Cheerios and only had a 10 minute power nap on the ride to the house...he was ready for some more food and lots of fun!
Jack and Mimee busted a move in the living room!
Why we thought he would sit patiently while we got all the materials for the cake to the table...not sure...he wanted his cake!
Since the pictures from the Church didn't come out great I made everyone suffer though a few more shots in the miserable heat. After this Deb had to head back to Birmingham since she had work on Monday...Thanks for making the drive in Deborah!
Opening presents is always fun. Jack got some great gifts in celebration of his Baptism. Thanks everyone!
Once things slowed down all the kids (and a few adults) put on their suits and headed to the pool to cool off. Towards the end we totally forgot we had gotten a birthday cake for Nana (sorry Eric...we wanted all the boys to be together but remembered after you left) so out to the pool for some Happy Birthday Wishes and more cake.

What a perfect day! Thanks to everyone that helped make it special!
