Noah's Baptism

Noah's Baptism was such a wonderful experience. As a parent there's nothing better than watching your child's testimony grow and watching them make right choices and knowing they're right. Noah was so excited for this day! And he looks like an incredibly handsome little boy preparing to someday serve a mission. I just love this kid!!!
We were lucky enough to have a ton of Tommy's family in town, but all of my family was out of town. The next possible date was Sept and Noah couldn't make it that long. Even though Tommy was constantly teasing him about 'worthiness issues', he was ready to go! So my Mom proudly represented my family. We had a great program. Roma played the piano, my Mom spoke, and Aaron gave the prayer (it was nice to only have 2 others getting baptised). He was then baptised by his Dad and confirm by his Grandpa Paul. I'm so thankful that Paul was willing to confirm him even though it took a tiny bit longer than normal (because of his brain surgery). It was such an amazing experience, you could feel the spirit so strong. Once again I'm just so grateful for wonderful worthy presithood holders in my life. All the cousins and kids got to gather in front of the font to watch and the bishop said they sarted clapping when he was baptised, the bishop thought that was the greatest thing ever, it just shows how much they feel the spirit and that's the only way they know how to show it.

The night before Tommy and I (let's be honest Tommy did all the cooking) made 6 batches of crepes for the brunch afterwards. We had another food feast on our hands. Thanks to all the family for your help in making Noah's baptism a wonderful day!

Excellent photos Kris! I might have to get copies of Noah and his Dad at the baptism. I love them all. You sure do a great job.
