Kaia's Day

So Kaia's baptism was on Saturday. She had a primary activity that morning and by the time we got home and ready it was time to head out again. She was so excited - although I'm not sure if it was because all her friends from church were there and they could play or if it was because of what was actually going on. She had to be "dunked" twice because David was so nervous (this being the first baptism that he has ever done) that he forgot to say Amen so they got to do it again for good measure. It was nice to see such a great support from our ward family since actual family couldn't all be there. It was a great teaching experience for David's mom, dad, sister, and brother-in-law as well. They got to see that we really do believe in Jesus Christ and are very family oriented.

Afterwards we took mom and dad to the "Flying Biscuit" and had some good ol' southern grits, big fluffy biscuits, greens, macaroni & cheese, and some awesome fried green tomatoes. Our eyes were definitely bigger than our stomachs!

There's nothing that grows you up like your first child getting baptized. It just doesn't seem like we should be this far in life, but here we are. We're baptizing #3 in September-Crazy!

Congratulations Kaia, and family. It is so wonderful to start having your children baptized although we are much too young to be having kids that old!

My second is going to be baptized in July and it makes me feel old. :(
