Tristan's Baptism

Yesterday was Tristan's Baptism. Tristan was really excited, he even got up early and didn't complain. (He is NOT a morning person) We took pictures before the baptism started.

PS. Why didn't the girl taking the picture (who is also my friend) tell me my skirt lining was showing? Oh well.
The baptism was really nice. I led the music and gave a talk and Jack sung the musical number. I asked Jack if he wanted to practice and he declined. He said he knew the song already. ok... Dad and Jeri came from California, Evelyn and her son Jeff came and my friends Denise and Jeff and their 4 kids drove over an hour from Tooele to come. This was quite a feat because it started at 8:30am. We had brunch at our house afterwords. Brian baptized and confirmed Tristan. I got all choked up... it was really special.

The boys loved seeing Papa and Jeri. They had a hard time when they left. Tristan was blocking the door with his body and Jack was putting stuff in front of it so they couldn't leave. We miss everyone.

It was so wonderful to see you and your family, Allison. Believe me, it was just as hard for us to leave as it was for Tristan and Jack to let us go! We miss you guys so much, but are so happy to see that you are doing great in your new home. We love you all!!

Jeri and Dad

I'm so sad I couldn't be there. I miss you all. I see the boys getting older and it makes me sad to miss so much of their growing up. I'm glad the baptism was nice. How proud I am of Brian to be able to do this. I'm also glad that Tristan is adjusting so well. Way to go!!!!
