Kaelan's Baptism!

Sunday was Kaelan's baptism.  It was such a special day for many reasons other than the obvious. We were blessed to have lots of family and friends there to witness the special occasion.  Kaelan wore the same outfit his daddy was baptized in, used my baptismal blanket, and had his own new bib embroidered with his name and a cross.  The minister who performed the ceremony, Reverend Orin Smith, was the same minister who married Nickolas and me 4.5 years ago.  We were so happy and blessed to have him play a role in another milestone for our little family.

Here is a video of most of the baptism.  I cut out the beginning because it was mostly of my back and I cut out the end as well.  When we all laugh at the beginning, it's because as Orin took him from me he said "Oh he's heavy!" :)

Here are QUITE a few photos from yesterday... sorry for the photo bomb!! :)

His "Busy Bible"

Each page is a different Bible story and is completely interactive. On this page, the flaps of the creation globe pull back so you can see what God created on each day

You can take different animals out of Noah's Ark.  There are lots of different pages with different stories... it is so adorable and so special!

The back is personalized just for Kaelan!

Sampler made for him by the church's Altar Guild.  Can't wait to get this framed!
