It's the year to be accountable for Austin. Now that he is eight he knows the difference between right and wrong and is responsible for his choices. He made the choice to be baptized a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. It is the first of many good choices I hope he makes in his life. He reads his scriptures and knows that by praying to his Heavenly Father he can obtain answers to life's questions. Austin is a boy with lots of faith in the principles he has been taught. We are so happy he has started up the path to maturity with the commitment to be true to the covenants he made with his baptism.
It was a fun day with lots of family and friends to share the joy with - complete with homemade ice cream and peach cobbler at Austin's house after the baptism. Yes, it's true he had to be dunked 3 times, but then it's a family trait that once may not get the job done. His cousins made the best poster for him. I love candy posters, they make such good memories. I especially love the pic of Rylan's thumbs up. It was definitely a thumbs up day!
