Our little Henry turned 8 on Saturday! He is our baby, and it has been bitter-sweet seeing him reach this milestone. I can't believe how the years have flown by! Henry is hilarious and sweet, and we love him. Congratulations, Henry!
Our church building is under construction, but the room with the font in it was finished, so we could use our font. Many of our good friends came. Max gave the opening prayer, I gave a talk on baptism, Charlotte gave a talk on the Holy Ghost, Bill baptized and confirmed Henry, and Hannah gave the closing prayer. It was very sweet. Yesterday at church, Henry was called up on the stand, and Bishop Tait welcomed him as the newest member of the Oxford ward. It is very moving to see your own child make the covenants that you know are the key to happiness.
We love you, Henry!
Henry wanted to do a cannon-ball into the font, but he lost his nerve.
Henry loves his scripture set and the carrying case. Finally, he has his own real scriptures like everybody else!
After the baptism, we went out to dinner with some good friends: the Nicholas Family, the Pratts, the Telfords and the Ordynas. We went to a new Hibachi place, and the funnest part was watching the kids' faces. They loved it! 
Max looks like he could be having a business lunch. He is so cosmopolitan.
Henry had his party at The Skate Place. I must have had my camera set on blurry. 
The kids had fun skating, running around in their socks, playing the arcade games, and having cupcakes. 
Henry especially likes the way his name is written on his scriptures--it's "fancy."

Henry's hand shot up high when the Stake President asked the Primary children if any of them had their own set of scriptures. :)
