Ashton was baptized!

I just so wanted to break down and cry tears of joy. I truly never felt like we would ever have our miracle and here he is already 3 months old. He was wide awake for the service and when it was time to get baptized he fell asleep. Terri our minister didn't want to give him back! It was all so beautiful.

This is Carl and I and Robin and Darren. They are Ashton's God parents. While we were saying our vows to God and Ashton, I just kept thinking of "Wow, We did this 9 years ago for them!" Courtney so wanted to be there. She was so upset that she couldn't come. She got Fifth's disease and wasn't allowed to attend. She was crying to me on the phone last night. She has been calling herself his God sister since she found out he was a boy! We have it on video for her to watch and at the end of the service our minister had everyone shout Hello to Courtney so she would know that we were thinking of her.
