Cameron's baptism

On April 30th Cameron was baptised by Dave.  I don't even know where to start in sharing my thoughts about this day.  My heart is very full for many reasons.  Cameron is trying so hard to make good choices and to do what is right.  I have noticed some genuine efforts lately to practice good behavior.  There was a time when we weren't sure if Cameron would ever talk.  Then we weren't sure if he would ever really communicate.  We were told that he would never be able to connect emotionally with people.  For a while we weren't sure if he would be accountable enough to qualify for baptism.  So I look at him now and I am so proud of him and so thankful for the miracles that have taken place in his life.  I sometimes get discouraged but on days like his baptism day I am reminded of how far he has come.  He did a great job on his big day.  He was very reverent and so sweet.  I am confident that he felt the spirit.  He was very emotional.  When he entered the water with Dave he said "My Dad broke his thumb playing basketball so make sure he does this right."  He was so worried Dave would drop him in the water.  It was so cute. 

There were many friends and family who attended his baptism.  He is loved by many.  He has such a great support group.  As his Mom, I am so thankful for so many people who unconditionally love my little boy.

This is the family after the baptism.

We have some Polynesian friends here who presented Cameron with these candy leis.  I believe this was his favorite part of the whole day. 

I am so proud of Cameron and the fine young man he is growing up to be.  I love you buddy!
