Baptism Day

Today was an extremely special day in Samuel's life. Today was the day that his parents had him baptized by the same pastor that married them. Both mom and dad were able to help get him dressed in his baptism outfit. Samuel was surrounded by his parents, grandparents, great grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins. As you can imagine, it was quite an emotional moment for everyone in the room.

Samuel had several visitors today including his cousin Heather who helped deliver Samuel into this world. I think Samuel will always have a special spot in her heart. Pebble, the creator of the now famous grandfather quilt, also came to visit. As much as I would love to list all of the people who came, there are far too many to name. Samuel is so blessed to have so many people who love him.

Samuel enjoyed listening to books read to him by his cousins Reese and Magnus. His parents started reading him the next book in the Diary of a Wimpy Kid series. The nurse told them that his heart rate improves whenever one of them is holding him and he is being read too. Clearly, Samuel enjoys this!

As soon as the clock hit 7:30 pm all visitors had to be out of the room. It was time for Jeopardy. Samuel and his dad had some bonding time while trying their best to do well. Unfortunately, Jeremy let me know that Samuel was not much of a help since he just had a shot of morphine. They are going to try to improve tomorrow night.
