Memorial Day Weekend *warning: long post!*

We had an eventful Memorial Day Weekend! On Saturday Tom's brother Jim arrived from New York. It was nice to have him visit! This was the first time he had been to NC to visit us and the first time one of Tom's siblings has met Kellen. On Sunday Kellen was baptised. The baptism was just awesome, I am so glad we did it. It took a lot to make it happen but it was worth it. It was a moving experience, the priest was great, the sermon was interesting, and Kellen could not have done better! He didn't cry or get upset at all, not even when dunked in the water. He looked absolutely angelic in his christening gown (the gown has been in the Boyer family for 100 years!). After the baptism my mom hosted a delicious brunch at her house which was so much fun. We got to spend the afternoon with Kellen's godparents and their parents, my family, and Tom's brother, it was a lot of fun and the food was wonderful. It really was a perfect day. Memorial day we hung out at home and then went out to dinner just the three of us. Also, Kellen had his first carrots and really seemed to enjoy them. Lots of fun, quality family time this weekend. We needed it! As of yesterday, Tom is scheduled for surgery on June 3rd to have his gall bladder removed because we recently discovered he has gall stones. He has been pretty uncomfortable which is why we did not take our scheduled trip to the mountains this past weekend. We are all looking forward to having him feeling better after the surgery!
Below are a bunch of pictures from the weekend!

Getting messy with green beans!

He loves his veggies!

Lately Kellen likes to play with his toes and feet while eating his dinner. Bath time quickly follows dinner time!
