Merry Christmas!

Dear Aidan,

Today was your baptism. You will probably be too young to remember this day, but it was a special day for us. Daddy read a baptism prayer on your behalf. Here is a verse that we want you to take with you when you get older:

For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place. When I was woven together in the depths of the earth, your eyes saw my unformed body. All the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be. —Psalm 139:13-16

I'm posting some pictures of your special day.


Mommy is just about to wake you up to get you ready for the big day.


You are still sleeping in your crib at 9:20am. Blessed child...


You looked so grumpalicious when mommy woke you up from your deep slumber.


Uh oh. Looks like somebody fell asleep again!


Aidan: Mommy, don't bother me! I need my beauty sleep!


You are really awake now and ready to rumble.


Mommy picked out an outfit for your baptism. The theme is all white (except for the shoes).


Daddy is looking pretty spiffy himself in his suit and tie. He practiced all night on his speech for your special day. Daddy hates public speaking.


You are all bundled-up in your jacket and poor boy hat.


Helen, Pastor Jason's wife, is holding Asher and grandma is holding you. Asher is also getting baptized today.


Grandma was so proud of you. Can you tell it on her face?


You, on the other hand, looked STUNNED.


Asher's mom, YJ, is proudly holding Asher. He looked very concerned...


Grandma was trying to make you dance. You looked bored. So did grandpa.


Aidan: Why is grandma torturing me???


Wow Aidan. That's a long yawn.


You giving a shout-out to all the peeps out in the world.


Look how nice your skin is now. L*O*V*E!!


Your certificate of baptism.


Mommy and you. Aidan, can you stop pulling mommy's hair?! She is bald as it is...


One of the very few photos of you and me together. Try to look happy.


You don't seem very happy.


Ok, maybe now you do...


The program of the service. Look, there's your name under infant baptism.


Daddy holding you right before we went up to get the infant baptism.


Daddy reading his prayer. He did a great job.


Here's a photo of YJ, Andy (holding Asher), mommy, and daddy (holding you) making a vow to raise you as Christian parents.


I think this was when Asher was getting water poured over his head.


Here's your look of surprise when you saw Asher getting all wet. It's your turn next!


Pastor Jason was reading off his paper and you were so interested in what he was reading.


Pastor Jason didn't hold back when he was pouring water over your head. He poured quite a large amount. Luckily you didn't flinch one bit.


You looked cool as a cucumber throughout the whole baptism. The congregation laughed at how calm you were.


You and Asher after the baptism. You guys were both wet. It was like a wet T-Shirt contest! Haha.


Here's you looking at Asher.


Both of you seemed very stunned.


You on the big screen.


You were pooped after and slept like a baby in the car.
