RM's baptism... 01.11.2009

So, yes, I am slightly behind on this one, but I wanted to share some glimpses of our day when RM was baptized a few weeks ago. Many family members and several friends came to worship with us and stand with us as we took these vows for raising our son and committed to trusting in our Sovereign Father for his upbringing. It was pretty incredible too, that these loved ones of ours take it so seriously too. Now y'all are really on the hook for the next 17 years. Hah! We also put a new spin on the term 'infant baptism' -- seeing how RM is most definitely NOT an infant anymore. I think that rang the truest when he took the liberty to swat our pastor's hand away after he poured water on his head, giving Grant a look of, "Hey man, we were really cool until you pulled that stunt."

After church everyone headed over to our humble abode to eat brunch together, and watch the little ones go absolutely ape together. The three cousins present decided to have a very jovial screaming match in the hallway (it echos real nicely) while they were playing. It was pretty stinking hilarious.

you may note in the picture here of KK and Aunt Amy, the kickin' hood vent featured in a lovely chocolate brown color. IT has since left the house! HURRAY! More pictures to come of the kitchen re-do, courtesy of my Floyd.

this boy + his blanket + his thumb = pure bliss.

The boys circled round the table after dinner, chatting... and pretending not to hear the chaos in the nursery... East Coast Cousins Rule. (Sorry Tootie & Boone, I had to throw that in there.) The ECC crew with their Oma & Pops.
