On Saturday, October 8th, Nicholas was baptized! He has been counting down the days for weeks now or maybe more like months. He has been so diligent in asking questions and preparing himself. It was incredibly fun and rewarding to watch as a parent. No, he is not perfect, but he certainly has a big heart and makes great choices most of the time! We are lucky to have such supportive friends and family and many came share that special day with us. It was especially neat for me to see both Grandpa's participate. There is something special about seeing two men that I love (and Nick admires) stand as witnesses of the sacred ordinance of Baptism and then participate in the Confirmation. It always makes me extremely emotional. In just a few short years we will be helping Nick prepare to enter the temple and serve a mission. Sometimes being a parent is hard and I worry that maybe I am not doing enough. I hope that Nick feels our love for him. We came back to the house for gourmet pizza (Costco) and Rootbeer floats...Nick's request of course and I was not about ready to argue with such a simple meal! It was a cold and blustery day but warm and perfect in all the right ways! Congrats Nick!
