Awesome August 17th

Sunday was spent by going to church from 10-1 and then after church we held a baptism for both Caleb and Aiden. Caleb turned 8 in April and Aiden turned 8 August 7th so Caleb chose to wait and be baptized with his cousin. This made it easier for my parents to only make one visit for a baptism, instead of two.

Nine people, all looking the same direction, at the same time, smiling? Not a chance! But here's our attempt.

I think only Aiden dislikes pictures more than Caleb.

Sarah wanted in on some action.

Cherisa, Ian and Aiden.

After the baptism we went to a nearby nature preserve and walked around and saw some cool animals.

Notice that in most of those pictures Nathan seems to have acquired a growth, right above his head? Cherisa has three kids, Aiden (8), Devin (5), and Malcolm (2). Malcolm and Nathan hit it off and were quite the pair the whole visit. There was some complaining by a few of my other kids that Nathan wasn't "sharing" Malcolm but it was pretty cute how the two of them were together so often.
