Mother's Day, baptism & a new friend

So last weekend was very busy for us! Actually, Sunday itself was just a very busy but blessed day for our family. It was Mother's Day first of all! Here's the breakfast in bed Alaina made for me:

Then, we proceeded to church for Cami's baptism - it was so wonderful. She's just so sweet and both her and Alaina were very good during the baptism. We had all our extended families here which was really special. We then had a small cook-out with family and just a few friends from our bible study to celebrate. Of course, Cami slept through almost the whole celebration, but we enjoyed the time together!
Still that day, we were headed to the airport to meet our good friends the Castor's returning from bring their new son home from Ethiopia. Joshua Tariku was born just a few days before Cameran, so we are really excited for them to become the best of friends like Toby (their other son) and Alaina have. Here are a few pictures from the airport reunion!

Oh! And on Wednesday (Cami's 11th month birthday), Cami took her first steps alone - not just one, but three! And today at gymnastics, she stood by herself on purpose to clap for kids. She's starting to get some confidence and before long she'll be off!!! :)

  1. What a breakfast spread you got! Sounds like Cami's baptism was wonderful. Love seeing the pictures of the new little boy. Jason and I have always thought about adopting too. Oh, it looks like Alaina is pretty smitten with her friend. They are so cute!!!
