Brandon's Baptism

In our church children are not baptized in infancy, instead we are baptized when we are eight years old. We feel by then a person can make a decision for themselves if this is what they want to do. Brandon was baptized this weekend, Aug 18th. Both our parents were able to be here for this special day in his life. Despite a few butterflies in the tummy, he was very excited and happy all day. We loved to see the glow and happiness evident in his face. He is a sweet wonderful boy. In one of the talks prior to the baptism, the gentleman giving the talk mentioned to the children that they were now grown up... later on at dinner Brandon told us he didn't need a plastic plate, he could use a glass plate since he wasn't little anymore! We were glad he was listening, but regardless he still got a plastic plate--- I've had too many broken plates dropping on the tile!
