A while back I blogged about James' 8th birthday, and now I finally get to blog about his baptism! The fact that it's now July 2nd and this all took place on May 7th? Well, that's just life. Even two months late, I would never miss the opportunity to mention how amazing this kid is, and how great it was to share in his baptism day with him.

Here is the whole family (minus picture taker, Heidi). We were also privileged to have some good friends join us ... Manjares and Sanner families, Grishams, Dawnette, etc.

There really is no greater joy than watching your children grow and make good choices.

These two are such great buds. James loves to help his dad with projects around the house (fixing things, splitting wood, home improvement projects). Grandma Loo! Grandpa & Grandma Dueck! Grandpa John!

Auntie Heidi! And here's our crazy, goofy, loud, active, amazing family!

Ouch! Watch the hair, Joseph.

James, you are an outstanding boy! You are so good at figuring out how things work. Thanks for fixing things for me and teaching me how to use my own phone/ipad:). You are smart, funny, handsome, strong, kind, gentle, and loving. It is an honor to be your mother!
