Joshua's Baptism

Thank you to everyone who was able to make it to Joshua's baptism and open house this weekend.  It's comforting to know he has so many family and friends to support him.  Actually, many more than were able to make it yesterday.

 

If you didn't get an invite, I'm terribly sorry.  It may still be in the mail (we sent them out late) or we may have gotten the address mixed up (corrupt file with all the correct addresses and no recent backup).  The last couple weeks have been very busy.

 

The next few weekends will still be busy with a niece graduating high school, and a nephew and a niece graduating 8th grade.

 

As for the baptism itself... Paula's friend and her husband were in from New York.  He is a pastor and we asked him to perform the baptism.  He was doing a great job, but as he leaned over to put the water on Joshua's head, he discovered the font was empty!  No water -- no baptism.  He quietly mentioned it to the church elder that was assisting, and the elder went and filled a vase and then filled the baptismal font.  That was pretty funny, we were all standing there waiting, with the whole congregation watching us.

 

 

Make it a good week.
