Eight is Great

Evan turned eight in March, but since we were out of town for April baptisms, his dad baptized him on May 2nd. He was so excited! When he went for his baptism interview he was all nervous, I asked him why and he said, "I just hope the bishop will let me get baptised!" He also said some other funny things I posted on the side bar. He had lots of family and friends there to share his special day. When he went up to the front of the room to be confirmed he looked so excited and so proud I thought he might explode. Since we are between houses we just had the luncheon at in the nursery room right after, and it actually was perfect; good food, easy clean up, and no stress! The next day in sacrament meeting they had him come to the front and he was smiling so big that he had to stop and stretch out his cheeks-then right back to beaming. Evan makes me so proud, he is so knowledgeable when it comes to Book of Mormon and Bible stories and has such a desire to learn and know more about them. He is a very black or white child...either it is a good choice or a bad...there doesn't seem to be any gray in his eyes, and honestly it is pretty rare that this kid knowingly makes a bad choice. When I get back to my own computer I'll try to remember to post some picts of him in his white clothes. Kinda fun...Evan was baptized in the same building I was baptized in.
