At our "Great to Be 8" meeting in January we learned that our assigned baptism date was on Oct. 31st and Tatum was absolutely ecstatic about it and wanted to plan her baptism THAT night in January! We were able to push it off for a couple of months but by May of this year, her baptism was completely planned!
Tatum picked everything from the prayers & talks down to the pianist (Max) and chorister (Ethan). There was LOTS of practicing going on the 2 weeks leading up to her baptism but it all came together perfectly.
Our morning was quite hectic as Tatum had a softball game from 10-11 am. We pushed her baptism back to 11:30 (since she was the only one being baptized this day) so that she could make both. Well, we had to leave her game in the last inning but her team was in a good spot--and they held on and WON!!! So we came straight from the game, washed off her eye-black, and got her dressed in her white suit for the next awesome thing of the day:

| Apparently we forget to tell Papa Frank that he was confirming Tatum:) Poor guy! SURPRISE!!! I should have gotten him a program:) |
 |
| Ethan cracked me up! He MADE Max practice his hymns over and over again while he conducted. It all paid off because they were both AMAZING! |
 |
| Such a stud in hi little bow tie:) |

| Uncle Kenny & Grandma Donna |
 |
| Natalie & Tatum The Parks were so kind to come to this:) |
