Owen's Baptism

We were so excited to celebrate the baptism of Owen on October 24th. It is always an amazing experience to celebrate God's love for us and to commit to a lifetime of bringing our children up in faith.

Here we are asking for Owen to be baptized and committing to bringing him up in the practice of the faith. Owen is blessed with three wonderful godparents, Grandma Carol, Grandma Karen and Uncle Corbin. I know they will be wonderful examples for him.
Here we are getting ready for the big dip.

Our church practices submersion, so they want the infants to be in their birthday suit. Owen had fallen asleep during mass, and we woke him up when we started taking off his clothes. He was sooo good and barely cried when being baptized. He did have a hilarious look of surprise on his face when he went into the water.

Father thought the look on Owen's face was great. He laughed about it and told the whole church that they should have seen it.

Here we are with all the Godparents.


The happy family.

The day was made even more special because we had some special guests. Grandma Wiegmann and Grandma Korte came up with Aunt Vic. We just loved having them with us to celebrate! We did not get a picture, but Grandma and Grandpa Wilcox also came to the baptism. We are so blessed to have such loving, sweet wonderful Grandparents and Aunt! We love them so much!

My friend Amy is starting a cake business, and she made the cake for me. Each of the little cakes have a different symbol of baptism on it. It was not only beautiful, but also delicious!
