Atticus and Friends

This weekend was wonderful! We are very good friends with 2 other couples, who, when they visited last fall, were both also pregnant. In February, Mandee and Derek had Beck; and just two days after Atticus was born, in May, Camden was born to Todd and Emily. So, everyone came down for the weekend so our boys could meet and the adults could catchup. All 3 boys were even down by 9 or 10 each night and Vic and I, for the first time in a long time, CHOSE to stay up until midnight laughing and visiting! I think the pictures will say it all.

Future Aggie Roommates?

We cannot wait for our yearly family vacations!!

Happy Saturday!

We sure love this sweet boy! So, I thought I'd share a picture from last week when we had so much fun with GG in town. Happy Saturday morning everyone!

Holy Baptism

Atticus was baptized on Sunday, July 31, 2011. We had our families in town for the weekend to celebrate and cooked out Saturday night. It was a very special occasion, as we also celebrated GG's birthday on the 30th! Pastor Erich did a wonderful job and the service was very special. Atticus only cried during the prayer, of course. We asked Charley & Jill to be his sponsors. It was also fun because Jill was baptized 28 years ago on the exact same date! Atticus also wore the same outfit that Vic wore when he was baptized many, many years ago. See some pictures below!

Everyone sang Happy Birthday to GG on Saturday night (between the busy week, she even ended up making her own cake!)

After the baptism, he was wide awake, and while we have no pictures, he was giving the most flirty grins to Ana sitting behind us!!

Jill and Charley are Atticus' sponsors - boy are we expecting a lot out of them!

Our families and friends who came to celebrate.

Now, the work begins! Vic and I were riding the easy train for 3 months; now we have to work hard to raise this sweet little boy to know, follow, and love our Lord. And, of course, we look forward to every moment.
