It was even more special that my Dad was here. That meant alot to Garyn & I. We usually go to the 11am service but I wanted to make sure that there was plenty of time for my Dad to come so we scheduled Hayden's baptism for the 8:30am service. I had to wake the kids up at 7:30am which is about 2hours earlier than they usually get up. Hayden was actually really happy but Rya was very cranky. I got them both dressed - Rya in an adorable purple outfit my Dad got her for Christmas last year & Hayden in his special baptism outfit that my wonderful Dad, Stepmom & Grandma bought for him. On our way to church now & Rya's so very tired.
Rya wasn't sitting still when the service started but all we wanted was for her to stay there until the baptism was over. Luckily the Pastor did the baptism early in the service. We were all invited to the front for this special event! I was very happy that the Pastor allowed my Dad to take a picture of Hayden being baptized. We have a great picture of Rya being baptized & I like Rya & Hayden having alot of the same things & what a fantastic way to really remember the day with the pefect picture!
Unfortunatly, after his baptism, Garyn had to take Rya out of church since she was so tired & cranky. I followed shortly after with Hayden. We were able to watch the rest of the service in the narthex though. I was very please with how many people congratulated us on our son's baptism. That was very special for many reasons but especially because we haven't been going to that church very long & no one at the 8:30am service knows us. We were able to get some pictures afterwards as well. I love to scrapbook so I need pictures of anything & everything!!
This was such a special day & I'm so happy my Dad got to share it with me!
