Teancum and Payton at Payton's baptism.

We had such a good time in Illinois visiting family and attending Payton's baptism. Teancum loves all his cousins but he has become very close to Payton. He wants to do everything Payton does after the baptism Teancum was adamant that he wanted to be baptized when we told him he needed to be eight he asked if he could be eight when I told him he would be eight in six years he asked if he could be three it was so funny. The drive out there was long but Teancum did well. we are very glad to be home after our long Journey.
