Trey's Very Special Day

The anticipation had been building, the family had landed and the wait was nearing its end; Trey's baptism day finally had arrived.

It was a day I had thought about since his birth, a true milestone in both of our lives. My baby Trey was 8, dressed in white, next to his dad and I could not have been more proud. My two Richard Taylor Jacksons in the same pose I have of me next to my own dad. It was something out of a dream, but reality was even better. The only missing piece to the puzzle were the family members and friends that were not able to attend, but they were with us, in our hearts and minds.

Thanks for your love, prayers, well wishes and support Dad Nance, Rhett, Taylor, Danny, Brynn, Kalle, Heather, Kris, Kamae, Jackson, Julianne, Charlie, Halle, Annie, Emma, Jenny, Andrew, Jacob, Ruby, Kurt, Brad, Jeff, Sarah, Greg, Kate, Michael, Zane, Traci, Trevor, Boston, Gage, Mallory, Great-grandma Nance, Great-Grandma Jackson, Great Grandpa and Grandma Hansen, Great Grandpa and Grandma Larsen and Great-great grandma Beardall- all who were missed, but not forgotten. We headed to the church in two cars because we couldn't fit all of the family members in one car. I think that is the best reason to have to carpool ever! I loved that Trey kept turning around and waving at me. He was so excited he was bouncing around. Wait, he always bounces.
