We are back at the house.  Parker is all baptized and everything, and so it was time to eat and celebrate.  Our house was nice and full of people, one of them being my Aunt Vivian on the right.

Prayer is the first order before dining - it was a beautiful day to sit outside and eat.  Most of the folk in this shot are Ohio friends - my stepfather James is standing with Master Parker (is he praying, too!?!?), and my youngest cousin Mike has his back to you.

After dinner, we all gathered in the living room to open some presents, presented to Parker by those present.  Of course, Parker has to sneak in a bottle now and then.  He needed it, because by the end of the day he was pooped for many hours.  My Grandmother Davidson is seated to the right.  My Dad is holding Parker once more.

I like this picture - although the flash didn't go off, it still looks good.  We are opening presents, and you'll notice that Parker is both surprised and excited by all of them.  I think this is the "Jesus Loves Me" book we got.  It has a button on the lower-right page that played the song.  You then can read along with the music.  Parker doesn't know the words yet, but he likes to sit with book in hand and to push the button over and over again to hear the song.

I submit this picture, because I have a question for you.  Does Parker look tired in the picture or not?  My wife thinks he does - you can see the expression on his face, she said.  I don't think he looks tired.  Bewildered maybe, but not tired.  This picture was taken towards the end of our party, so Parker may have been close to being knocked out.
