I recently realized I didn't print any pictures out from last Thanksgiving and have been going through some on the computer to do so. I don't think I mentioned it back then, but we had Eden baptized that weekend since Ben's family was here. I do regret a little that with all the Thanksgiving busyness it seemed like a hurried affair - I remember realizing as I sat down in the pew that her gown was on inside out! Anyway, I'm glad I have this sweet picture. I really love the way our pastor does baptisms - it feels very meaningful and special and genuine as the church welcomes the child into the family. Whether you believe in infant or believer baptism [or have no idea what I'm talking about], the church is making a vow to love and protect and teach that child about Christ. Our church does feel like a family - we've started so many meaningful relationships there. Personally I have learned a lot about loving God through serving others - there are some amazing people there that I look up to in this way.
Back to the baptism. Look at my two sweet girls there - here's a reminder for me to pray and pray for these two little souls every day.

you're right -- your church does such beautiful baptisms, esp the whole church singing and greeting its newest member. there was no fighting back tears, both times. ')
