Well, this past weekend simply could not have been better. The sun was shining, the birds were chirping, and Maxwell was baptized at IPC on Sunday. We had just about our entire family in town for the big event and it was so special. My little guy did great during the church service and made us all very proud. I have lots of pictures to share so here we go.
My parents got into town on Wednesday and then my mom drove over to Arkansas to pick up Susu and Dodo on Friday. Maxwell was very happy to see them as always…
On Saturday morning, Keath, Jen, Delaney and baby Nate flew in from Florida. I was so happy to get to squeeze on Nate…
He’s a good snuggler! Someone who’s not a good snuggler? Miss Delaney. She’s too busy running around and around! Most of my pics of her looked like this…
A blurry whirlwind! She never stops moving! I did manage to grab a few cute ones though. Here she is in mid-conversation…
Playing with Maxwell’s toys…
Checking out her reflection…
And just being a sweet little girl…
I sure do love her! Keath and Jen had gotten up at 4:00am to catch their flight. Combine that with a 4 month old and Delaney’s energy, it’s no surprise that Keath ended up like this on the couch…
The great GJ was here too, of course. Here’s a rare moment when she didn’t have Delaney in her arms!
Jen must have been corralling her at that point!
Everyone was getting lots of good Maxwell time in, including me!
Daddo and Dodo got in on the action too.
Then Maxwell and Daddo had a little chat…
Probably about cars or watches. 🙂 Not wanting to be left out, Nate insisted on a few snuggles from Daddo too and he was happy to oblige…
Maxwell then decided he wanted to check out Nate a little closer…
Maybe a little too close! oops! 🙂 Let’s try that again…
Much better! I love that these little cousins are only 4 months apart. I see big buds in the future! It was a fantastic start to the weekend. Much more to come tomorrow!!
Here’s a little sneak peak…
Knee socks and monogrammed shoes. The cuteness is killing me! See you tomorrow!
It was such a great week-end! Your organization skills made it all work so smoothly. Everyone was so happy that SuSu and DoDo were able to come and that Granddaddy flew in on Sunday. Two great grandparents and a great great aunt! Think GREAT is just the word to describe it all!
Couldn’t have gone any better. We really appreciated everyone making it. Without family these times aren’t as special! Until next time….safe travels Pattersons.
What a great weekend!! It couldn’t have been more perfect!!
