This past Sunday was a very special Sunday. Our neice Katherine got baptized. It was especially fun for Matthew and me because we made it a total surprise that we were coming to the baptism. My brother and sister-in-law nor my neice knew that Matthew and I were coming. We had planned it with Matthew's parents, so they knew we were coming and they gave us the details of the event. We got up bright and early on Sunday morning (5am!) and drove the 4 hours it took to get us there. It was such a great day and a fun surprise for Neil, Jennifer and Katherine. But it was great for us to get to spend some time with them. It was such a special moment to watch Katherine get baptized and realize that as her family we are responsible for helping spur her on in her walk with Christ. I truly felt honored to be a part of such a special moment.
After church, we all went back to Neil and Jennifer's for a delicious lunch that Jennifer had prepared. Once we had indulged, we changed clothes and went out back to play with Katherine on her new Christmas gift - a trampoline. My brother and I had one growing up and used it all the time. It brought back some fun memories, but needless to say I'm not 12 anymore! I couldn't believe how winded I was after just a few minutes of jumping! It was a lot of fun though!
Below are pictures of the church where Katherine was baptized and then some pics we snapped of each other.
