James' Baptism

We had a great weekend! Our family and friends got together to celebrate James getting baptized. My family (sans Larry & Maddie) came in Saturday so we got to hang out a bit before things got crazy busy on Sunday. Sunday we got Jimmy to cook us some yummy breakfast and put the finishing touches on getting things ready for the after party then headed to church. There were 3 children getting baptized and James was definitely the youngest -- and the quietest ;-) I don't know how he does it in public because he certainly just cries for no apparent reason when it's just Jim & I with him -- he must be bored with us already. There are a ton of pictures in the slide show (80 I think, sorry) because I just put all my pics into an album using Picasa and I figured out how to do a slide show through that site today really fast...so you may want to scroll through quickly yourself instead of watching it play. (Note: you may be able to click in the bottom left and it will take you to the album itself and I think you can make comments, but I'm not sure). It begins with some pictures from Friday and Saturday...cute ones: Pops and James napping and James making his "O" lips old man face. The slide show finishes with the pics from the baptism ceremony and the posed pics after w/ the Godparents and Grandparents (James is uber lucky -- he has John for a Godfather and then TWO Godmothers: Kristen AND Cassie -- how can you beat that?!?) The non-church pics are still from Sunday when we were at home hanging out. Jim said the pictures of James on the changing table are 1) him "doing the sprinkler" and 2) "showing his guns"...you be the judge. One of my favs: James getting checked out by BOTH Charlie and Easton at the same time -- lots of doggie breath up in his grill :-D

Thanks to everyone who helped us celebrate!
