Yesterday, December 3, 2011, Jacob and Blake were Baptized. It was a very nice day. It was just our boys getting baptized so it was small and quick... We had just a few family members and close friends that came. I gave the talk on Baptism and the Holy Ghost and in so doing had to do some crying. During the week as me and Joe were both preping for this day we said to each other we can't believe this day has come. It sometimes seems in the beginning when there little that time just doesn't go by fast enough and then you get to these points and it has gone by too fast. Also as we were talking we both said its kinda of weird and sad at the same time that these are our babies and this would be the last time for this kind of event. So, to say the least as I started to speak I got emotional, but said my few words and then regrouped to finish my talk.
Joe did a great job even though he had to do it twice for everything. Jake as he came out of the water made the comment to Blake as he entered the water "That wasn't that bad" and with that we all had a great laugh. So, to them it wasn't all that bad. We are so proud of you both for making this decision in your life. It's funny because I feel like this is were they really grow up and from here on out is were they become Men.
On the Friday before....
A great friend and past neighbor and also her son is a good friend of the twins dropped a gift off for them. She gave them a white towel with a treat and a poem that went with the towel that they could use to dry off after they were Baptized. It was so special and I really appreciate her for doing that for the boys.
