This weekend Nate Hays will be baptized into the Lord's family. His adoptive parents, Jerry and Gretchen Hays, will also be celebrating Jerry's ordination as a Lutheran pastor. Jerry and Gretchen are good friends with our kids, Andrew Minor and Sarah. Over time, we have become friends with them as well. Here is Jennifer holding Nate.
Here is daddy Jerry with baby Nate. He now weighs nearly 15 pounds and is growing like a weed.
Saw my old friend Cheryl and husband Monte Haun. Pastor Monte is on staff at Concordia Kirkwood where Jerry will be pastoring. Cheryl and I have been good friends for many moons.
We also met Elizabeth's friend - Andy (Elizabeth is our daughter-in-law, Sarah's, younger sister).Elizabeth is studying architecture at Wash U. Sarah's family are all in town to celebrate with the Hays family. Jerry was Sarah's youth director for many years in the Twin Cities.

Nice name! Hope the baptism party was great. Celebrated my special day of mother's birthday with all our near dear ones. Booked one of the fabulous event venue in Los Angeles and had a great evening. Beverages were self prepared according to taste of guests and lunch was amazing. Will definitely go for same arrangements for my father's birthday too.
