baptism

henry was baptized on sunday, april 18th. we were fortunate to have so many family members with us at the church that day. henry wore the same outfit that both miles and josiah wore for their baptisms. marc and jen are henry's godparents - he is blessed to have such wonderful people in his life! the service was perfect and our little bundle managed to make it through the entire thing without a peep. I seriously thought we were done-for when marc held him over the water (sound asleep) and they sprinkled it on his head. he didn't blink. then one of the pastors came over, took him out into the congregation, and handed him to a very nervous looking gentleman [they do this as a symbol to show that henry is now a member of the church]. as he was carrying henry back to the front of the church the pastor gave me the "eye" as if to say don't let him come up the stairs...get down here STAT! henry bug slept through it all. after the service we went to my mom and dad's for a delicious cook out complete with cheeseburgers, pasta salad, beans, and fruit salad. hmmm...summer!
