Liam's baptism

Liam was baptized on Sunday, April 15th...Kale's actual birthday (it should be an easy date to remember).

I dressed Kale and Liam in matching suits but failed to get a single picture of the just the two of them together. 

We also joined the church we have been attending for the past year. I know, I know, we are moving, why join the church now? The pastor thought it would be a good idea even though we are moving due to baptism records. 

Pastor Stan Cosby baptized Liam.

Liam was a good boy and didn't cry at all during the baptism. He did, however, have a near blow out the beginning of the service. We were getting ready to go up the front and I discovered he had a poopy diaper. I rushed to the bathroom and changed him as quickly as possible. It was just a half inch or so from creeping out the top of his diaper. It was a definite close call!

Once we got home, Kale decided he needed a baseball hat to complete the outfit.

We had a dinner at our home following the baptism. We catered in Famous Dave's, which did an excellent job. We also had a cookie cake for dessert.

Liam got lots of great baptism gifts, including a personalized book, a baptism frame, a Bible, money for his college fund, baby dishes, a savings bond, and stock from Johnson and Johnson (we buy stock for our boys for major holidays and life events--maybe they will be millionaires one day and can take care of their poor parents.)

Kale enjoyed helping open Liam's gifts

Kale and Scarlett enjoyed a wagon ride in Kale's new wagon after dinner...unfortunately they got caught up in a storm. 

Kale and Scarlett colored and played nicely

Liam was happy just to watch Kale and Scarlett play

Kale loved to put stickers on himself, Liam, and Scarlett. Scarlett wasn't a big a fan of the stickers though.
