Joshua's Baptism!

Joshua's baptism was a couple of weeks ago. He was baptized with two older boys, and - much to our surprise - Joshua was the best behaved!! We were lucky enough to have his godparents Mike and Maria fly out for the occasion! Also in attendance was the Meyers' family and Brian Emerson! The priest's name was Father John. The ceremony was very nice. We were fortunate enough to have Brian volunteer and do an outstanding job with the pictures... and that was despite the handicap of not being able to use the flash during the ceremony! Thanks Brian! We also wanted to thank everyone for all the beautiful gifts!!

Check-out the cute white baptism outfit!

Ready to go!

The church is just up the street from this lookout point, so we swung by...

Thanks for all the great photos, Brian!!

Wow!! Great shot of Mount Ranier!

And now we celebrate! If anyone wants some ice cream cake, stop by... please!!

What great pics! I love them all! You let Joshua sit on the counter alone! Just kidding - I can see Mom close by.
