Tucker's Baptism

William Tucker Hastings was baptized today. The service was attended by many of his family members, some of whom got to participate. I got to give a talk on baptism, Tutu JLynn was the pianist, Grandpa Bill led the music, Anna prayed, and Rob baptized and confirmed Tucker. After the service everyone gathered at the Hastings for visiting, food, treasure hunt, volcano, presents, and birthday cake. It was a splendid day!

JLynn is the best accompanist ever, bar none!

Tucker is a great young man and we love him.

There are many more birthdays to celebrate this month, but that's all for now.

I was so glad so many could come (but Maren and Katy were very missed). The talk was excellent. It was a great day and depending on how my pictures turn out I may steal some of yours.

It was a wonderful day. Your talk was great. The baptism was done efficiently. The music was outstanding. The food was bountiful. And thank you for clarifying a couple things: Families Can Be Together Forever is a great song and Phillip and Jayson ARE indeed brothers-in-law.

Great day; great pix! So are we brothers-in-law, too? Father and father-in-law must be something!

Ummm.... excuse me, but I'm not in any of these pictures! I don't like this ending! (Congrats to Tucker what a great kid!)
