Today was an amazing day. After starting out like a not so great day (Being awakened too early, a broken lawn mower, clogged sink, a Roast that didn't cook right and the stress that comes when things don't come together smoothly,) we had the opportunity to experience beautiful baptisms of Vitaly and Spencer. The program went well. The talks by our married children (Heather and Joe and Holly and Brian) and musical numbers by Devin, Daniel and Alisa) were great and of course the baptism was the best part. As soon as the boys got out of the water, they said they wanted to do it again.
We celebrated with friends with a dinner after and were so happy to have Mark and Danielle and family and Grandma Hinkson (who came on her birthday) and Vern, Nanette, Andrew, and Emily Garrett and Arri Rogers come from hours away to spend this time with us and congratulate the boys on their big day. It was a special day that we all will hopefully remember for many years.
Great pictures....especially the trampoline picture!
ReplyDeleteSo wish we could have made it! Thought about you while we were at the lake with family. (The only day we could all get together Labor Day weekend.)
Why is it that it seems stress always hits the morning of a big event? No matter how hard you try to make your day stress free?? Seems like Satan just wants to get on your nerves and distract you from what's really important! Glad you were able to shake it off and enjoy the baptism!
Welcome Spencer and Vitaly-new members! The gospel will change your life!!!
Congratulations! So glad things smoothed out later on. Sorry we didn't make it. We spent the day getting back to normal after the wedding. (Laid around on our butts a lot!)
ReplyDeleteYeah! What wonderful news!
