Samantha's Baptism

Samantha was baptized on Saturday, June 28th at St. Mark's Lutheran Church in Pleasant Hill.

  We figured out that she is the 12th child to wear this baptism gown that her Grandma Paula made many years ago.

 It just so happened that Sam was baptized exactly 5 years to the date from Noah, so Pastor Kerstin told Noah to bring his candle along so we could celebrate him as well.

 Pastor blessed Samantha with a cross of oil on her forehead which Noah immediately wiped off making everyone chuckle.

 She slept through the whole thing.

 Noah was Mr. No-It-All during the Children's Sermon.

Pastor Kerstin officially accepted a call at another church earlier in the month (we will all miss her so), but she made an exception to come back to St. Mark's to baptize Samantha, for which we are very grateful!

 Noah just wanted ham.

This is what happens when you don't order a custom cake and it's Pride Weekend. Good times.

She was so very done by the end of the afternoon.
