Bill and I are so honored to be Axton&#8217;s godparents, and after a great couple of days with the Svir&#8217;s even more excited about our decision to move to Brainerd. We are reminded, often, of how fortunate we&#8217;ve been to have such great friends everywhere we&#8217;ve lived.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/bbryson.com\/erin\/files\/2007\/06\/church.jpg\" alt=\"church\" height=\"309\" width=\"412\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Of course there was a bit of reminiscing&#8230; back in college, Bill and Mike decided to make pies one night. They had great visions of starting their very own baking service B.S. Pies (based on their last initials or what they&#8217;re full of???) but the idea faded over time. We got a second glimpse at the chefs as they renewed their plans for culinary fame &#8211; this time with plans for a cooking podcast!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/bbryson.com\/erin\/files\/2007\/06\/cooking-show.jpg\" alt=\"cooking show\" height=\"282\" width=\"376\" \/><\/p>\n<p>It was a fantastic weekend, as both Mike and Amanda&#8217;s families were a part of the event. We enjoyed bocce ball in the yard and catch phrase inside. Axton was quite a trooper &#8211; he was part of all the events without a single utter of displeasure. He is such a GOOD BABY! He&#8217;s probably relieved to have a little space &#8211; we fought for our turns at cuddling.

I suppose, some day, we&#8217;ll be right along side them. In the meantime, however, it&#8217;s so much fun to watch our friends as parents &#8211; &#8211; HOW GREAT THEY ARE!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/bbryson.com\/erin\/files\/2007\/06\/tub-time.jpg\" alt=\"tub time\" height=\"285\" width=\"380\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Axton Michael was born to our good friends Mike and Amanda back on April 21st.
