Noah's baptism was this morning at First United Methodist Church in Springdale. A lot of the family who came up for the party yesterday were able to stay and make it to his big day.
He did well for the most part. In fact he did great the entire time up until the moment we went up to the altar. Then he became transfixed with the floor pattern and wanted down. While the pastor went through the vows Jenna and I took he was a big wiggleworm. It was like trying to hold onto a greased cricket. Finally I gave him to his Momma and that may have been a mistake. You can take him from Daddy but you better not take him from Momma. She tried to give him to the pastor and he started to scream and kick his legs. It was actually pretty funny. So Jenna held him and took him to the water. Reverend Skarta let him put his hands in the water and that calmed him down. Jenna held him while they baptized him into Jesus' fold. Then Daddy took his grumpy butt to the nursery :)
Afterwards we all went to Cavanaugh's Pizza for lunch. It was a great day and weekend. We don't get to see our family near as often as we'd like and to have them all here this weekend was something not soon to be forgotten.
