Baptism Day

Today, Lucas and Sophia were baptized. The day was another one of those perfect weather days. You just have to love early September. The morning started out a little hairy as all THREE kids were crying as we were late getting out the door. Talk about stress. We easily made it in plenty of time though. Christ Jesus Victor's new space is nice, small and quaint and all their own.

The service was heartwarming, I could see and feel the blessings of all my family and closest friends all around me. God was there, on this bright and beautiful day, two welcome two new members to his church. The funniest thing was is that Lucas cried during the water "dunking" not b/c he didn't like water, but b/c we kept taking the paper away from him that he wanted to EAT! Afterwards, we had cake with the congregation and then headed off to a fabulous lunch at the China buffet just down the street. Everyone filled their plates more than once and left with full bellies. Afterward we all headed back to Kev and Amy's house so the kids could all play and we could have a few beers (Kevin almost lost an eye!) and a few laughs. Everyone was so tired on the way home that we had the rare moment of three sleeping children in the back of the van:)
