June 1, 2013.
It was a rainy Saturday. Baseball concession stand duty and a birthday party got cancelled. We hung around the house and then when out to eat BBQ for dinner. Afterwards, the kids got in their PJ's and crawled in to bed. Robbie and I sat down to watch TV. Just a normal day.
Then...
Hudson called Robbie in to his room. Rob went to see what he needed. I assumed it was the usual bedtime stall routine. About 10 minutes later...Robbie came out carrying Hudson. I immediately thought...Oh, he must be sick. Robbie said, "Go tell Mom what you just told me." Hudson told me that he had prayed to ask Jesus to be the boss of his life! Wow! I was taken by surprise! So happily surprised! I have prayed for Hudson's salvation since he was born...but it was such a normal day...didn't see it coming today! We talked it all through with him and asked him questions. He seemed to fully understand his decision. We prayed again to thank God for his rescuing love and incredible grace. Hudson wanted to be baptized immediately...as in the next morning! We couldn't quite pull that off...but scheduled it for the following Sunday. Unfortunately, he was super sick the next Sunday. So, he had to wait 2 weeks...and that make the baptism fall on fathers day! How special!
It was a wonderful day...supported by family!
It was so funny...as we were waiting for the baptisms to begin...we could hear the music from the auditorium...Rob and Hud were both tapping their right feet to the beat of the music. 
Happy Day! The Buies are ALL IN!
We went out for lunch at Razorback Pizza for video games, pizza and Cookie Cake! Perfect way to celebrate baptism and Father's Day!
Then home for and time to give Rob and few Father's Day gifts! Thank you, God, for your undeserved goodness in our lives!
