Child of the Covenant

Our baby boy was baptized yesterday, June 1, in a beautiful service we will remember forever. It was June 1 a year ago that we found out I was carrying this little life. And a year later to the day, I was witness to the beautiful sacrament of baptism for my precious son. As early as the book of Genesis, God established a covenant between His people and their children. So it was a sweet day to see Danny baptize our firstborn ... our covenant child, Britton.

It was a great day in the life of our church -- for the many who have prayed for him -- and a special moment in the life of our family. Here are some pictures from Britton's big day.




"How long are those baby's legs?" This was something Danny said as a child after seeing a baby in a traditional baptism gown. It was oft quoted this weekend. :o)











Luncheon Pictures
We had a little luncheon in our home after the service for all of the family who came into town.





Britton's 3 living great-grandparents.






By the looks he gave this cake, he might really be digging into his first birthday cake! We have lots of pictures of him eyeing this cake.


Danny has an armful -- Britton with his cousin Will.
