D2 had a birthday. His eighth birthday. He says, "It was fun, I had a Lord of the Rings party." See the ring on the table? It is precious to him.
He shared precious rings with his friends, too, during a game he made up and I didn't understand. I'm not sure it was such a good idea. Look at the gleam in their eyes.
Lest you worry about the adequacy of the above candle-studded cookie to feed that many boys, know that the main dessert was mini-banana splits. All D2's idea, and very tasty. It was a good day for D2.
The next day was even more important. So important that D2's grandparents came for the occasion. That day, D2 was baptized a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. We are so pleased that D2 chose to make this commitment.
We're also pleased that the Caterpillar was worthy and able to baptize his little brother, and that D2 asked him to do so. And Dandelionslayer provided an inspired confirmation.
So there we are. The whole family has been baptized. Wow. I guess we're doing pretty well so far.
It seems like not so long ago that Rollo turned eight and was baptized.
And Scoot.
And the Caterpillar himself. They're all growing into such wonderful young men. But they'll always be my little boys, too. Forever.
