Here is Ava toasting her brother on this special day.
Russell brought his famous rubberband ball. It looks bigger than last time!
Here is a happy bunch. Emmy sure loves her Grandma. If you look closely you can see that Rick found a useful purpose for Russell's Rubberband ball. A foot stool!
At the end of the day, I let Brendan hold and look at his very "boyish colored" Rosary that the Barton's made for him. I had to take it away before he tried to eat it, but I will put in away in a safe place until he is old enough to use it. Thank you guys and Mom and Rick, thank you for the card and gift!
Jessie and Matt gave Brendan some wonderful bible story books and Jessie made this framed prayer above. It says..

A Baptisimal Prayer for
Brendan James
Lord Surround this child with goodness, Lead him in Your light each day;
Help him walk the path You've chosen, guide his steps along the way..
Teach him, Lord, to trust Your wisdom with a faith forever new;
Keep him from all harm, and bless him with Your grace and gladness, too.

Thank you. It will be cherished!
