On November 30, Harrison Henry Grubbs was baptized! I know you have been waiting a while for these pictures, so here they are. Beth Idol, the wife of Jason's dear friend Kenny (and we are friends with her too!), presented Harrison to the congregation as we all sang, "An infant we present to thee, as thy redeemed property..." It makes me cry just thinking of it! Then, Jason held little Harrison as Pastor Don baptized him. He did let out a little squeek when the water was first placed on his head. Then, Pastor Don took Harrison and showed him off to the congregation as the children sang, "Little brother welcome" (Little brother, welcome. We the church of Jesus, we will help your growing. Little brother welcome!) In case you can't tell, I'm a sucker for baptisms. I love them. The Moravian church has a beautiful baptismal service, and I ALWAYS cry at them. :) Afterwards, we enjoyed a luncheon with our family and a few other special folks. The menu consisted of chicken pie that Gwyn and I made while I was 7 months pregnant, green beans and salad. Then, we had the tasty cake from Costco. YUM!!! It was a lot of fun and a very special day.
