Weekend of Celebrations

This past weekend was a very special weekend for our family. Saturday we celebrated our niece Caroline's 16th Birthday (where did the time go?). Sunday we celebrated Zachary's Baptism. And, Monday Matt and I celebrated our 13th Wedding Anniversary.

Zachary's Baptism was a beautiful ceremony. And, as usual, Zachary was well behaved! Our pastor greeted Zachary before the service & they shook hands. The children's church had a preview of their Christmas program and we had a front row seat to all the excitement! Zachary loved to watch all the children sing!

We were all excited to watch Zachary during the Baptism. When the cover of the Holy Water was removed Zachary remarked that it was "Waaater!!" After the Baptism Zachary happily went into the Pastors arms and went around the congregation with the Pastor. Once they got to the other end of the congregation Zachary looked back at us with a panicked look on his face and I just smiled real BIG and it seemed to put him at ease. They made it all around the congregation with everyone awwing and ooohhing over Zachary. He just loved the attention!
