Baptism

We headed to Pentwater over Labor Day Weekend for some family time with the Morrison’s. We were able to spend lots of time with family in Pentwater.  We had a fancy dessert, Baked Alaska, hosted by Jane and Sam’s with the Gustafson crew.  It was so great to spend quality time with family.  Sam’s Cousin’s Bill and Kim and their son Will visited with us as well.  It was so great to see them!

We enjoyed walks to the beach and around town with the girls.  We dipped the girls feet into lake Michigan during one of our walks.  Hopefully next year, they will be swimming in Lake Michigan.  Sam and I were able to go down for one sunset. 

 

 

The best day of the weekend was Sunday, when we had Sam Sr baptize the girls.  The service was so special and intimate.  My parents drove up for the day, to be able to see their granddaughters baptized.  Jane, my parents, Sam and I along with the girls were all able to stand up front while Sam Sr baptized Anna and Kathryn.

The girls of course were happy and content during the service.  Kathryn reached up to grab Papa’s (Sam Sr’s) chin , while he was holding her.  It was so sweet.   We had a special coffee hour with the church after the service.  It was such a blessing to talk to some of the prayer warriors that have been praying for our girls from the very beginning.  It was special to share the girls baptism with the church.

 

 

After the service we had a wonderful lunch at Sam and Jane’s.  It was great to spend time with both grandparents and the girls all together under one roof, even if it was just for the day.  We feel blessed to be able to share the girls Baptism with so many family members, it made it so special for us to share this occasion with family.
