Baptised.

We are so fortunate for our wonderful family, and especially grateful that Nathan & Ella have so many cousins. This weekend we were able to take a trip to Canby, MN to see our wonderful family. Uncle Mike & Aunt Brenda were finally able to move into their new house, so what better way to break it in then with a full-family sleep-over!

Nathan, at 2 1/2, was still fully able to appreciate baby Kendon's toys. I especially like Kendon's little smirk.

Do we have a Future Farmer of America on our hands?

Cousin Katlyn loved to wear mommy's beads.

The most important reason we all gathered together was to celebrate Kendon's baptism on Sunday morning.

Nathan sat in front of us...by Papa & Nana of course.

The man of the hour, Kendon Michael, in his traditional baptismal outfit.

After church we got a photo of all the cousins...kind of.

Funny story: The Monday night after we returned from Canby, Nathan got out of bed around 9:30 p.m. saying he had to use the potty. He had already peed in his diaper, but was able to squeeze out a couple drops and promptly asked for a fruit snack. (His reward of choice for using the potty). It was late, but Matt agreed and said he may have one. He handed Nathan an all-white SpiderMan fruit snack. Nathan took the fruit snack, looked up at Matt, and whispered "baptised". Since Kendon was wearing a white suit when he got baptised, Nathan now thinks that white things are baptised! I love his childish sense of logic.
