Baptism

Last Sunday, Avery, Pete and Hailey were baptized at the church we have been attending. Our church has become very meaningful and special to me, so I was excited that we would have their baptism done there.

Pastor John did a wonderful job "dealing" with our children and showed them complete love and respect. A,P, and H must have thought the church altar was their playground, because they spent most of the ceremony running around it. At the very beginning, as we were all standing there, they all just stood next the railing on the altar smiling and waving out into the congregation.




Avery very intently watched the Pastor as he sprinkled a little water on her head. Pete wiggled and shouted and even pushed Pastor John's hand away at one point. Pastor John was so good about it, though, and said something in reference to Peter, the disciple of Jesus. To me it added a little personal tough which I loved. Now, Hailey was enthralled. In some of the pictures you can see her very bravely smiling and looking at Pastor John. She was quiet the whole time he held her and LOVED all the attention.


After the service we had all of our family in friends come to our house for a lunch. The whole day was wonderful and I felt the effect of all the love for days after. I was so happy that we were finally able to do this, especially at church that is so special to me! Thank you to all our family that came from close and far away to be a part of this with us!
