Baptism


That old adage of "time sure flies when you're having fun" is truer than I would like.  When I was handed a tiny baby back in 2004 whose skin appeared to be clinging to his tiny frame 8 years seemed like a lifetime away.

Here are a few pictures of the day RTC chose to be baptized.



 


 
In our church we don't baptize babies; a child must be 8 years old. We are thrilled he made the decision on his own. We were so fortunate to be able to share the experience with his friend who is 6 days younger than him. These boys are so amazing in my book & I'm so grateful they have each other to help each other on their way to becoming honorable young men.
 
We were also grateful that family & friends traveled from near and far to make it an extra special day for both of them! Each one had a grandmother give a talk & we sang songs that were favorites of the boys. We couldn't have asked for a better way to start the holidays!
