Ava & Owen's Baptism....

Several attempts...the best shot of them together Owen's turn to get baptized

Ava's turn to get baptized

Pastor Josh, Our family with Sponsors Hannah & Luke

We tried to get Owen with the cake, but that was not successful

On March 24, 2012, we had both the kids baptized at our church. Grandpa and Grandma VM with Addie and Sam, Grandma Joyce, and Hannah and Luke (sponsors) came to the service. I was very upset when I realized I forgot to do pictures at the church with everyone. We had time before the service, but I remember thinking that we would just take pictures afterwards. Of course, I can't remember anything! The baptism went as predicted. Owen didn't want to be held and was fighting to get out of our arms, but both kids cooperated during the actual sprinkling of the water. We talked with Ava about how baptism meant she was part of God's family which she seemed to understand; however in true Ava form, she was concerned about how much water was going to get on her new dress :)
