The best part of February: My sweet Jonah boy was baptized! Here is his invitation:
It was a beautiful baptism and my pregnancy hormones made me extra emotional. Todd's parents and his brother, Boo and sister, Angela flew out for the big event.
Here is Jonah with friends, Marshall and Charlie,chowing down on barbeque beef buns after the baptism:
This is what Jonah wrote in his baptism memory book (I hope he doesn't mind me posting it): "After I got Baptized, I felt like I was perfect as Jesus. I felt like I was fresh out of the box. I felt like Satan (or Lucifer) was gone forever." (I love this child.)
Moving on....today I woke up to three kids deliriously jumping all over me. "Look out the window! There is snow EVERYWHERE!!!!" Sure enough there was! This is our first snow storm since moving to Virginia almost three years ago. I'll admit even I was excited at the 1 inch of snow on the ground. The kids begged me to get their snow gear out of storage in the garage and by eight o'clock, they were dressed and ready to go out and make snowballs.
ANTICIPATION:
Can we go out already??!!!
And They're Off!!!!
Later on, after the older boys were off to school, my neighbor invited Reuben and I to go sledding with her. "Sledding?", I queried, "Isn't Norfolk Flat?" Turns out, there are a few man-made "bumps" near our house at Northside Park.

Congratulations! Glad you are feeling better. 4 is a big number!!
The baptism was wonderful, we just love your family and I am just way bummed that I won't be around when you have a darling little girl...(fingers crossed) okay, even if you have another boy, we already know he'll be adorable! Sounds as though we woke up in a very similar fashion today.
I went back to bed this morning--scratchy throat and still no voice. I admire your enthusiasm and the fact that you have snow gear.
Congratulations Brooke! How fun for your family.I bet your boys are so excited.
Congratulations to Jonah too. I love what he wrote in his baptism book. I can't believe that all these boys that were in my class are growing up so fast!
Congratulations, Brooke! Good luck with the girl thing... but boys are so much fun, I'm sure you'll be happy either way!
Whoo Hoo!!! Congrats and I need some more info. When are you due and when do you find out the sex of the baby? I am very excited for you!
Oh Brooke....another baby Crandall! how exciting!
and Jonah's baptism looked like a great event. I liked the photo in the church bathroom with all it's whiteness.
