Will's Baptism

Today was Will's baptism! Although I don't think Will realized how special of a day it was, he behaved beautifully. I, of course, was worried he would cry or have some kind of "accident" while he was in the arms of the minister and in front of the entire congregation, but he just hung out and looked at everyone like it was no big deal. It was really touching to have so many people share this day with us...and kind of emotional. It was the first time that we were really vocalizing that we are responsible for making sure that Will grows up with strong values and beliefs. No pressure or anything! :)

Todd's parents came to see Will baptized...



We are very happy to have our good friends Chris and Melissa as Will's godparents. We can't think of any two people better suited for this role than them.



Dr. Simmons, the senior pastor at our church, performed the baptism. It was especially meaningful because he is Chris' dad and they have become like family to us. Not to mention they have a Nebraska connection because his wife Carol's sister lives in Lincoln...we were destined to find each other! :)


After church we had a few friends out to the house for lunch. Once again Will received many beautiful gifts from those who love him. He is such a lucky kid and he doesn't even know it yet!
