Baptism

Yesterday (11/9/08), Jessica and I joined our church; immediately after we joined, Alex was baptized. A relatively brief (I'm wordy, remember? :)) summary of why we baptized Alex can be found here. We didn't capture any photos of the service (with all of the photographers and camera's in our family, how could this be?!), but we did get some photos at our house afterward.

We ended up with 19 total people in our house:



Elsie (Great-Grandma)
Bob and Shirley (Great Grandpa/Grandma)
Mark and Chris (Grandpa/Grandma)
Paul and Donna (Grandpa/Grandma)
Steven, Jessica, and Alex (Dad/Mom/Self)
Christopher, Shelley, Isabelle, and Wesley (Uncle, Aunt, Cousin, Cousin)
Andy, Kristy, Trent, Dustin, and Logan (Uncle, Aunt, Cousin, Cousin, Cousin)

I really appreciate everyone coming and supporting us.

Since we didn't take any pictures of Alex in his baptism outfit, Jess took Alex outside today and got a few stellar pictures.





...and one maybe not so stellar picture. :)

He finally sat in the leaves. What a bigggg boy. He looks like he is enjoying it. I love the hat and the glove. What a great idea. We sure had a good time with your family.

sorry we didn't get any photos for you. We were certainly blessed to be apart of it all. Isabelle enjoyed the music and seeing you all. Kristy and I think Alex is the essence of a baby boy. He looks like a poster child! Kristy said if you were to just draw or sketch a baby, it would look like him. He should be on a cover of a baby magazine! He was awful cute Sunday. Great seeing the rest of your family as always.- shelley

Love the outfit, and his hoodie--and a cool dining room table under the cake too. :) Congratulations on Alex's baptism!
