Jake was baptized Sunday...it was a special, special day! Lots of his loved ones joined us to witness it...Grandma Kennedy and Grandpa Jaime, Aunt Mari, Aunt Heather & Uncle Chris, Grandma & Grandpa Walters, Great-Great-Great Aunt Pat & Uncle Jim...and Jake's God-Parents, "Aunt" Stephanie & "Uncle" John Pinkster, with Julia and Collin. Grandpa Joe and Uncle Josh stopped by to wish him well before he was baptized too. The Pinksters stood up with us for the baptism. They vowed, like us, to teach Jake about God and walk with him on his journey to someday dedicate his life to Jesus like we all have. Jake wore a gown that was made by Grandma Kennedy out of material from my wedding dress...pretty neat! Everyone went out to lunch at TGIF afterward to celebrate. We obviously took lots of pictures! Jake was a champ during baptism too...never cried. I'm told the old wives' tale is that it means he will be extra rebellious...time will tell!
Jake in his very cool outfit for the day
Special embroidery on his slip to remember the day by
Such a beautiful baby!
I was told he had to wear SOMETHING that was "all boy" underneath that dress...so we put John Deere socks on him!
Getting wet...
Baptized
With Grandpa & Grandma Walters
With Grandma Kennedy...the dressmaker :)
The only time he was awake during the entire service...even Pastor Paul commented that he rarely sees this boy's eyes!
What an awesome day!
Tuckered out
Happy again after a snooze at lunch
