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.
