nathaniel's baptism

As Christian parents, we desire our children to know God, love Him, and follow Him all the days of their lives. With this in mind, we had our dear son Nathaniel baptized this past weekend. He is now a member of the Lord’s family!

Deciding to have either of our children baptized as infants was not something that was easily agreed upon. (You can see some brief thoughts on it under Edmund's baptism.) 

We were blessed to have two of our family members to be Nathaniel's god parents - Anna's brother Brian and Eric's sister Lissa. We also had both sides of our family in town to celebrate with us. We spent time hanging out and even made a trip to our favorite apple orchard.

Nathaniel had a beautiful baptism followed by a delicious brunch at La Chatelaine. We were immeasurably blessed to have so many loved ones celebrate the most important event in Nathaniel’s life thus far.

Also, here is the video of the ceremony for those of you that couldn't attend or would like to see it for a second time.

Welcome into God's family Nathaniel!
