Baptism Day!

Adam was baptized on Sunday in the same church I attended growing up. Craig and I were married in this church and Alex was also baptized there. Oh, and the priest who performed our wedding also baptized both boys. It was really special to carry on that tradition in my hometown.
Here's the first official picture of all four of us. It only took us about 2 months to get a picture of all of us, but at least we have one now... and it's not too bad!
Here's a picture of us with the godparents... our sister-in-law Sarah (she's married to Craig's brother Brian) and my brother Mike.

I can't get over the number of boys in this family. This is Alex with all four of his cousins (the little blonde guy belongs to Brian and Sarah... the others are my sister's kids). 5 boys grandchildren on my side of the family. No girls yet. YET. We need more estrogen...
Here's Alex and Nathan having a snack. They are only about 18 months apart in age and they are great pals!

The weekend also marked the first time Adam got to meet Uncle Mike and Aunt Jen. Obviously Adam got along very well with Uncle Mike. Sadly, I just now realized I did not get a picture of Adam with both Mike and Jen in it. (Mental note for next time... also need to check to see if anyone else got a picture with Mike, Jen and Adam.) It was also great for me to point out to Alex that he needs to be nice to his little brother... because someday his little brother may be bigger than him!
