Emily's Baptism

Our sweet neice Emily got baptised way back in May. It was great for our family to get to go, not only to support her on her special day, but also to show a couple four-year-olds that being baptised is nothing to be scared of. Before the baptism, if you asked Ali or Logan if they were going to be baptised someday, they would empatically say, "NO!" They do not like the idea of going under the water. So it was great for them to see Emily do just that and live to tell the tale. I had them talk to her afterwards and she assured them that it wasn't scary, that in fact she liked it. Now if you ask them if they will be baptised someday, at least some of the time they say yes, qualifying it that it won't be until they are much bigger. We are so grateful for big cousins who are such good examples to our kids!

Isn't it funny what they decide to be nervous about.
