My husband had the great pleasure of baptizing our 8 yr. old and blessing the 2 month old. It was a crazy time especially since we decided to hold the 8 yr. olds b-day party the day before. it was just crazy getting the house, food and everybody ready. It all worked out. We didn't get to do everything we would have liked- like extra deep cleaning and haircuts- but it turned out to be a very nice day. It was a stake baptism which I don't like because they have to be really efficient and the focus seems to go away from the children to the process and where everybody is supposed to go, but this one was O.K. - there were 2 other boys being baptized from our ward and our bishop did a great job of making us all feel valued and loved. The mothers also got to say a few words at the end and then the other families were excused and we blessed the little baby. It was very sweet to me as a mother. I loved it. I think #4 was happy and #8 was happy as usual- slept most of the time. I've got him here on my lap now-- so sweet- growing so very fast. I can't believe it!!
