Happy Baptism Brooks

Today Brooks was Baptized. This took place at the church in my hometown by my minister. She married Eric and I, and has known me since I was 4 years old. It was very special because she threw in a couple of memories and talked about what a fortunate boy Brooks is for having a diverse religious family.
Brooks was AMAZING! He was fantastic during service- entranced by the bells. During the baptism he was great, she even walked him up and down the aisles after to 'introduce' him to the congregation, and he was great. He started getting bored during the sermon and squealing/shrieking. We took him out. He wasn't crying, just complaining. Then we went to brunch and he ate and passed out for pretty much the whole thing.
It was supposed to downpour all day- and it drizzled in the morning, but then was clear- EVERYTHING went so fantastic.

Congratulations Brooks- God Bless you!

Mommy wishes she wore a black bra or cami



When I said he passed out at the brunch after- I was not kidding





With his godparents- my sister and her husband


And lastly- a picture narrative of Brooks and how he felt about today.

"Today was a lot of fun"



"Even though Mommy put me in a bonnet"


"When they told me I would have to go to church for an hour I was a little skeptical"




"Then they said some crazy lady wanted to put water on my head- can you believe that?"


"It wasn't so bad though- she walked me around and I got to look at everyone and see the bells"



"And then I heard we were going to have chocolate cake!"
