Boys Baptism

Well- it finally happened. The boys were baptized Sunday, March 14, 2010. I thought it would never happen. You might recall their baptism was scheduled for January and then the boys and Abby had RSV. Which I might add the doctor said that they sent more kids to the ER this winter than in the past and luckily we did not have to go. God has blessed us with strong, healthy children. Anyway- the week before Abby did get the flu so we were so worried about the having to cancel once again. Blaine had a fever then I got it. Luckily, we recovered and could go on with it. One thing I didn't think about till too late was the time change- Spring Forward. Abby spent the night with mom mom which helped tremendously, one less body to get ready. That morning the boys ate at 8am which was different then usual. I was afraid they would start getting fussy as soon as they were to be baptized, but they did wonderfully. The service was beautiful. The introit had the children singing Jesus Loves Me- and they were angelic. The sermon was thought provoking and created lots of conversation, which was great. I missed most of it because I was getting the boys ready downstairs and they were a little fussy. We brought all of the children up so they could witness the baptism which was important. The boys sat and watched Dave speak at the pulpit with such attentiveness. They knew it was for them (not really- they were just interested I guess). They were so cute and observant. They really wanted to play with the water!!! It was beautiful and the boys were little angels!!! The gowns they wore were my grandfathers- Crockett Kincer's when he was an infant. They were 90 years old and Nick and Abby both wore them being baptized. They are very special to our family. Then after the service we had a great reception with family and friends. It was so meaningful to share this sacrament with those we love and to see how much our children are loved. Those present included- Pastor Dave, Dawn, and Jeremiah Webster; Aunt Sylvia and Uncle Steve Babelay; Kristy Krebs Thornton, Tracy Krebs Faber, Cindy and Scott Krebs; Rada and John Rolison; Cleta, Randy and Nick Kelley; Shanae Nunez; and of course us!! What a wonderful day. Here are some pictures from it.
