Kaitlynn's Baptism

Today was a very special day for Kaitlynn. She was baptized at our church, St. Timothy Lutheran, alongside her entire family. MeMe and Grand Daddy also made a special trip to Houston for the occasion. One of the neatest things about her baptism was that her 2 big brothers agreed to be her sponsors. Being a sponsor is similar to being a godparent in the Catholic religion; basically Collin and Kevin will ensure that Kaitlynn is raised to know God and to live her life as a Christian would. So while Kaitlynn was baptized in front of the entire congregation, so also were Collin and Kevin publicly asked to be spiritual leaders for their baby sister. How sweet is that! She is one lucky girl.

Isn't she sweet!

Here's a closeup of her sweet baptismal dress. As cute as it was, it was VERY uncomfortable! Kaitlynn was so happy to be changed after the service.
