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.
What a sweet, sweet day! She looks like a sweet princess in that dress. And what an honor for Collin and Kevin to play such a special role in Kaitlynn's life! Happy baptism Kaitlynn!
ReplyDeleteEven though the dress may not have been comfortable, Kaitlynn looked beautiful. What an honor to have brothers to watch over you and pledge to care for your spiritual well-being. Beautiful day!
ReplyDeleteAnother fabulous hat - you go girl. And a beautiful dress for a beautiful baby girl. What a special day - made even more special by her brothers' commitment to make sure she grows up with a love for Christ.
