Trent & Lily's Baptism October 13, 2007

Trent & Lily were baptized yesterday.
It was such a special day.
Everything was perfect.
I am totally amazed.
Yes, Trent turned eight in August. The time came for his baptism
but whenever we talked about it he just didn't seem ready to me.
He would just be silly about it- so we postponed it.
One big blessing doing that-
was that Trent & Lily could get baptized together.
Trent & Lily have been best friends since they were two.
She is a doll & we love her. She is so patient with trent & all his little issues.
Well, waiting paid off.
We talked about baptism until we were blue in the face, not really.
Just every family night, before bed etc. not that we hadn't been
doing that before.

All I can say is, he was ready. It was an answer to prayer.
He was so excited & nervous. He sat through the program intentively.He paid attention and listened. I know he heard- he told me this morning he was going to seehis new family today, his church family and that he had a new name it is Christian.
He got it. After the baptism we had dinner with the Johnsons. It was so much fun. We had the most delicious soup
& my very favorite, Karen's cream puffs.
Thank you to the Johnson's & sweet lily
for sharing this special day with us.

Hi Patz. Trent looks so handsome in his baptism suit and so does Lilie. She is a sweetie. So is Trent of course.

I can understand why you're so tired. You need to take some time for yourself. Enjoy Sunday's. It's hard when there's so much to do but you have such sweet little helpers. Let them help you. You always were such a good helper.

Patsy good for you for not rushing into it when it didn't feel right. How memorable for Trent and Lily to do such a special thing together. They really are going to get married aren't they? :) I'm sorry you're feeling discouraged, look over your blog and see all the good that you do, you're wonderful! - wende

Good for you for waiting an extra month until Trent was ready. It sounds like it was meant to be, especially since he could get baptized along with Lily.
