Baptism

This past Sunday not one but 2 of our kids were marked as Christs Own Forever! We had waited to Baptize C Cakes because his Godmother wanted to be present. Sadly she hadn't made it back home since we had asked her to be his Godmother. Plus the fact we were between churches. Needless to say she called me the Wed before Easter saying I'm coming home! (it was sudden because her mom was sick) but as I met with the Pastor he was unable to do a private Baptism he said he'd rather not have the Godmother present and Baptize in front of the congregation. :( So we went ahead and scheduled the Baptism for that Sunday morning. 3 hrs after Godmothers flight was to leave! But once looking at dates it was all that would work until Aug/Sept. Once I told my dear friend I got a phone call... "I changed my flight I'll be there!!" And that my friends is why she is my sons Godmother she is beyond AWESOME!! Little Sweet Pea was also Baptized needing to have it done before the dress was too small!!
As with all things it was performed in perfect C Family style!! Holy Water...missing! C Cakes helped Baptize himself by putting his hands in too. A little crying when C Cakes tripped but recovered quickly! Sweet Pea did good! Not thrilled about water in her face but no crying!!
All our other kids were Baptized in the Episcopal church- we are now attending the Lutheran so this was our first Baptism there a little different but was very nice! The kids all love our new church and the people there are all so sweet and supportive. Wish we would have made the move 15yrs ago when we first considered it. I will always be Episcopalian but right now its all about our kids and this is where they need to be!!
