Baptism

So this happened.  Max turned 8, and was so excited to be baptized.  It was the first Saturday in June, and we were so grateful to have both our our families come out to support him (and us!).  A friend gave me some great advice to keep things simple.  And I took it.  The week prior to his baptism, Max hand wrote some invitations to some our our church "family."  And, after the baptism, we had our families (who were visiting us for a few days) over for lunch.  The rest of the day I left to Max to plan - who chose various activities including - baseball in the backyard, games with his cousins on the play set, and everyone going to get pizza for dinner.  

Just after being baptized, Max entered the chapel in his new suit - just beaming.  He'd told his dad how he just felt so happy.  Our hearts beam for this guy and his spiritual strength.
