John Thomas the Baptized

We've had marginally cooler weather this week, which has allowed us to start enjoying the new deck. I can't imagine getting anymore laid back than this. I also think having Gramma and Papa around this week helped everyone relax.
Like any doting grandparents, Mom and Dad were so eager to help entertain and cuddle with JT. The added bonus was the fact that my extremely handy dad did all sorts of work around our house. Thanks to my dad we have a new ceiling fan, new shower curtain rod, new screens in bedroom windows, organized garage, cleaned porch railing, repaired closet light, chopped wood...and so on. Thank you so much dad!
I think Jason even picked up a few pointers in the process.
Mom and I also took a trip to see Mamaw. Mamaw was so excited to see us! She just couldn't get enough of her new little great grandson.
The best part of the whole week was that John Thomas was baptized this morning. He was such a trooper for the whole thing. As you can tell, all the hoopla must have taken its toll. Thank you to all the family and friends who were able to support us and him today. It truly is his first step in his walk with Christ, and I only hope and pray that we can help guide and support him in his relationship with Jesus as he grows up.
John Thomas is officially big enough to use his Johnny-Jump-Up. Although, it could be more accurately named, "Johnny-Play-With-The-Dog." This week we're back to the three amigos: Me, JT and Chester. It sure is going to be a quiet house around here with all the company gone.

  1. The best post title ever! I completely forgot to give him his card today - even packed it in the diaper bag and everything! Lets just call it baby brain :)

  2. I was so thankful that I was there to witness John Thomas' baptism. You tried hard not to cry, but when you wiped your eyes I almost ran over to hug you. It was beautiful to see him join the family of God & to see the pride in both of your eyes. Love you!
