Weekend with the Williams!

I took Lori & Ty with me to Turlock this weekend to see the baptism of my cousin Lynette's son Andrew. Michelle planned to go up but got sick and didn't feel she should go. She asked me if I was willing to still take her kids which of course I was happy to do. We left on Friday afternoon in order to get ahead of the storm - there was talk of the Grapevine closing down. We were happy to get through without any problem. We stopped just north of Bakersfield for dinner at Denny's. This was Lori's first 'road trip' without her parents. It was fun to have her with us.

Today we attended the Williams' kids indoor soccer games. The camera didn't work well inside so this is the only picture I will post. Jeffrey, Andrew & Megan all played. Their teams all won and they played well.

In between games I ran errands for Lynette. It rained all day and Ty loved playing basketball with cousins outside in the rain. Thanks to Jason & Lynette he had extra changes of clothes each time he got wet.

Andrew shared his baptism with a young lady (18 years old). Grandma Bird (aunt Marilyn) played the piano, Jeffrey led the music and Megan and a friend sang. Ty was asked to give the closing prayer.

Andrew was baptized and confirmed by his father, Jason. It was a wonderful experience and we are all glad we were able to be there for this special day!
