Caden gets baptized and Ammon gets a name blessing






Saturday was a big day for the youngest two Ellison boys. Caden was baptized and Ammon had his name blessing. Generally name blessings are given for infants and soon after children are adopted by their parents. But, we needed to give Ammon some time to be "mature" enough to cooperate. I'm sure you can guess what we mean. All in all it went well.

Other than Ammon and Caden in a fistacuffs during our family's musical performance named "Love at Home" (yes, guess we need to work on more love at our home) and Ammon yelling to Caden in the baptismal font, "Hi Caden! Hi! Hi! Caden bath tub! Squeal. Ammon bath tub. Ammon turn!" No, not his turn and he stayed high and dry. PHEW!

You would never know that Caden almost missed his baptism due to what we thought was a broken shoulder from a football induced fall on Friday at school. Just a sprain....no breaks for cracks. We left his sling off for the photos but it went back on after. I'm sure this won't be the last time we need that sling.
