Noah's Baptism

We had a wonderful weekend.  Noah was baptized on Sunday while surrounded by family and friends.  It was a special, beautiful day that we were happy to share with everyone.  Noah was really well behaved and didn't mind Pastor Alan holding him.  Joshua was also well behaved and even made his prayer hands when he noticed everyone praying during the baptism.  Noah was given a bag containing a religious book and a baptism certificate from the children's ministry.  It was especially cute that this young children's group is called "The Ark" and has a picture of Noah's ark and a rainbow.  Both boys enjoyed being passed around to grandparents, aunts, and cousins during the service.

The baptismal gown that Noah wore has been in Matt's family for 69 years.  It is a beautiful garment that big brother Joshua, Daddy, Granddottie and more have worn.  Special thanks to Grandottie for bringing the gown to Florida and for getting it ready as I would not go near it with an iron for fear of burning it.  We enjoyed visiting with everyone and having lunch together.  I was especially proud of the cake I frosted as I don't have much experience doing that.  It didn't look professional, but it looked like it was made with love and tasted great!  Thanks to everyone for making the trip.  God Bless!
