What a Weekend!

This weekend was an incredibly sweet one. Lots of family time- about 40 extra people at church for the celebration, seventeen people slept in our house Saturday night, two dozen donuts, five crockpots of soup, four gallons of milk- and lots and lots of fun!

What was it all about? Landon, our firstborn, our (for now) only son, was baptized by his daddy on Sunday.

I love, love this picture of Landon looking at his daddy.
They have such a special relationship.
{In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.}
{Buried in the likeness of our Lord’s death.}
{Raised to walk in newness of life!}
Special hug afterwards. It was hard for me to keep it together here.

I love this kid.
