Weekend Visit with MeMaw, PePaw and Faith

We were all so excited that MeMaw, PePaw, and Faith were coming up for the weekend. They got here Friday afternoon in time to play before supper. The kids were a little wild but they were having fun. MeMaw and I stayed downstairs chatting while PePaw was upstairs playing with the kids. I think the noise was getting to him after awhile. After supper we all played a few games of Disney Apples to Apples. This is one of the kids favorite games to play. Lydia was especially excited to have her best friend Faith here to play with her. They were so cute playing dress-up.

Saturday morning we had a lazy morning of sleeping in and lounging around in our jammies. Daddy got up and fixed us pancakes, sausage and grits for breakfast. Then we took our showers and got dressed for the day to head to the mall. After a good bit of shopping we had lunch at Red Robin! I love that place! Then we headed home for some more family time.

Sunday morning the kids were being baptized, we had a total of 21 people being baptized s the service was going to be full. It was a little crazy getting all eight of us dressed and out the door in time for Sunday School but we made it! At the beginning of the service the children who participated in the Sparks-A-Rama games were recognized. Lydia wasn't very fond of being in front of the church!

After a few songs it was time for the first set of baptisms which included Abigail and Caleb. They each recorded their testimony ahead of time to be played while they were getting in the water. It was so special for their Daddy to be able to baptize them. I know the kids were glad to have both sets of grandparents there to witness this. We also kept Lydia and Faith out of Children's Church so they could be there too. It was such an awesome experience to see my children being baptized and committing publicly to follow the Lord!

After the service we all headed to Zaxby's for lunch. It was a little hectic with all of us but it was fun to catch up. MeMaw and PePaw had to leave right after lunch to get Faith back to Atlanta in time for a birthday party. It was so sad to see them go. We can hardly wait until the next visit!
