baptism and flag day...

we have had an eventful couple of weeks and we are exhausted!  the main event was sy's baptism this last weekend (in our church we believe in baptizing children when they are 8).  sy was so excited and i think he enjoyed having a lot of attention from friends and family for a day.  craig was able to baptize him and we had craig's mom and dad, as well as an uncle and cousins that were able to make it.  grandma and pop both gave great talks during the program and sy's cousins sang a beautiful version of "i am a child of God".  here are a few photos from the day...





we are really proud of sy and his decision to be baptized.

the next event was soren's flag day celebration and concert.  when i told soren that daddy was going to be able to come to his concert his face lit up like a christmas tree.  first thing in the morning we took soren to his classroom where he and his kindergarten class had a special surprise for us.  they all stood together and sang "you'll be in my heart" (from disney's tarzan) with special hand motions.  needless to say...i bawled my eyes out...uncontrollably...as he sang.  it was really sweet.



then we moved into the auditorium for the flag day concert with all the kindergarten classes.  they sang a bunch of patriotic songs and even busted out the kazoos.  soren had a special part to say into the microphone and he was quite proud of that.
here you can see him in the front row, second from right...
