Today, we celebrated
Kyper's baptism. In our denomination, baptism is a sign of the covenant that God has promised salvation. It was very meaningful to us. We were thankful that we lived a little closer to family than we did in Iowa, because many more family could be there. My parents, Joel's parents, my brother (David), my future sister-in-law (Jen, Jeff's fiance), and my grandparents were able to come. Here are a couple pictures from the event.
This is the water they used for the baptism. As you can tell our church doesn't do immersion. Rather, Pastor Dan just drips some water on his head. I think it is pretty cool that they keep water in a rock.
Here is the actual event. We are so blessed to have
Kyper in our family and it was exciting to show everyone he is also a part of God's family. We promised to raise him in a Christian home and the congregation promised to help us. It is such a meaningful event.
Here is our family picture from the big day.
Here is the cake that Joel made for the event. Doesn't it look awesome--both to the eye and to the
tastebuds? I really only posted this picture for Katie and JP. When they helped us organize the kitchen we discussed this cake platter and when you would actually use something this fancy. I think this is the first or second time we used this dish. It is one of those things you get for a wedding that you really don't use unless there is a very special occasion. Well, we had a chance to use it. (This is a cool dish, because it can also be used for a punch bowl or veggie platter.)
I had to post this--it isn't super clear, but it is the one of the pictures in the post below. This is the picture that was on the screen while
Kyper was getting baptized. When they switched to this slide--everyone said "
awww." We do have a beautiful baby, don't we? :)

Congratulations on the Baptism! You are so blessed!
Congratulations to both of you. Baptism is such a wonderful thing. We had two children baptised this week. It is a wonderful occasion and a chance to remember our own baptism.
Congrats guys! Sorry we couldn't be there, was someone taping it all? The family picture of you 3 is really nice, I think that one is definitely frame worthy!
