Baptism

Krista, Jose, Annika, Christy and Roob
Jose, Marcia, Mark, Dylan, Me and Jason

Zachary up at the altar


So this past weekend my son and my niece were baptized together at our church. It was a rather long service but the baptism ceremony was really nice. Alot of our family was able to come to the church and to my parents house afterwards. My son Dylan, the Moose, as my family has so loving dubbed him feels like a moose compared to my niece Annika. Our family is really close so let me try to get this straight. My niece's parents are Christy and Jose and her godparents are Krista and Reuben who are my aunt Marcia's daughter and son in law. Dylans godparents are Aunt Marcia and my brother in laws Jose and Jason. I think I got that right.
My oldest boy Zachary was,,,,lets say,,,,,not shy and very active during the ceremony. After the last hymn he had made his way up to the altar and when everyone was done singing he said "yeah!!!!" and was clapping which is what we do after we sing songs at home. It was pretty funny.

Trial Run!!!!


I am testing this to see how it works and if it would be a good way to share pictures and communicate with my family. We have family local in Socal but also have family in Nocal, New Mexico, Oregon and Minnesota...among other places. I love to share pictures so if this is easy it may be the best and most fun way to do it!! Wish me luck!!!
