Emma's Baptism

Emma was baptized on July 22, 2012.  Everything went really well. We just invited immediate family and the great-grandparents to keep the event small.

My mom kept the baptismal gown that I was baptized in 25 years ago. It fit Emma pretty well. It had a little bit of an 80s vibe, but it was pretty special that she could wear the same thing I wore when I was baptized. 

Emma behaved very well during church and afterwards we had everyone over to our house for a grill out. The Sioux Falls Air Show was going on also so we were able to watch the Blue Angels and other jets fly over most of the day.

It was about 100 degrees and very humid, so we had to squeeze everyone into our house. We had some good visiting and it was nice for both sides of the family to be able to hang out with each other.

Emma was a little overwhelmed with all the company, but overall she handled it pretty well. She is 6 weeks old today, and she is growing like a weed!

It is very exciting to have Emma as an official member of God's Kingdom. It was a special day :)
