This Sunday, Joey performed his first baptism. It went off quite well, too. (He’d practiced on The Kid when we were all in in the hot tub the night before, which I think helped a lot.)
Unfortunately, we forgot Joey’s nice, conservative brown swim trunks at my grandparent’s house after we went swimming. So Sunday morning, Joey realized he was going to have to wear his wild Hawaiian flower ones with the cargo pockets that always fill up with tons of water and then go ooshing everywhere when he gets out of the pool.
Because everyone was in town helping us get settled in and helping the grandparents pack up for their move (which will take place later this week), pretty much my entire family excepting The Kid was at our church on Sunday morning.
Gramps managed to snap this quality picture on his iPhone of Joey and The Brother.
Many things should be noted about this picture:
- Joey’s outfit is amazing. Red shirt, white striped button down, khaki blazer, wild swim trunks…and Simple slip ons. A true class act.
- Joey looks extremely nervous and stressed.
- The Brother is drinking a LOT of coffee.
- He also looks kind of stressed too (probably from drinking all the coffee?), but likely not for the same reasons that Joey would be nervous and/or stressed.
- The sign directly above their heads reads MEN, which is appropriate considering only men are in this picture.
And now I should do what I came to get on the interwebs to do, and that is figure out what kind of interwebs service we will have at our house. It’s super hard to do research on a service provider when, like, you don’t have internet at your house yet.
