Andy was kind of scared of the water. Later he told us, "Jesus put me in the water. And then he gave me some bread."
Noah had the giggles all afternoon, and he loved getting baptized.
Jack and Jodi Ditthardt (two of our sponsors). Due to a storm, Jack had to drive all night to be here.
The boys were both dressed in new white clothes after their baptisms. This is an ancient part of the Church's baptismal ritual and is symbolic of this verse: "For all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ." Galatians 3:27
After receiving chrismation, we all walked around the baptismal font three times as Father Peter prayed.
The party afterward was great -- Holly's soups were a hit!
Our sponsors and families gave us a lot of great gifts, a veritable "Orthodox Starter Kit."

Thanks so much for sending me the pictures. I'm so sorry I missed the event, but I couldn't be in 2 places at one time. The boys were cute as usual. I glad it was a joyous occasion. From the Grandma that missed it.
You are such a cool person! I love the big thoughts that are always tumbling around your mind. It is so fun to be married to you.
