Last weekend we had Chloe baptized. It was quite a busy weekend, catching up on things around the house with Andrew's return from Outdoor Ed camp. Then, on Sunday, we headed off the chuch late morning to get our little girl baptized by Pastor Jim - the longtime pastor at the church I attended growing up and one of the co-officiants at our wedding. He is such a wonderful person and even has ties to Spokane (my place of birth) and many people we know there - what a small world. Our good friends Matt and Amanda Fehler stood up as her godparents and we felt blessed to have them be a part of the occasion along with their kids and Matt's parents - who also know my parents from old Spokane days. The grandparents were there, too, along my great aunt and uncle (Mimi and Unk).
