On Sunday, Parker was baptized at Brad's church where he grew up and where his parents still attend. It was a beautiful service and Brad and I are so glad that we were able to be part of it. Parker wore a white gown and was wrapped in two beautiful white blankets, one from his Aunt Jenny and one from Grandma Kleeman. It also snowed a little bit the day of the baptism, so that made it even more memorable. Parker was very good through the entire service. He cried a little at the beginning, but soon found the lights in the church and was fixated on those.

Brad and I with Parker and the priest. Parker was very good when Father Ron poured the water over his head - he didn't even make a sound! Even Father Ron was impressed at how good he was during this. He is a special little boy.

Parker by the baptism tree. If you look closely, you can see Parker's name on a leaf just to the left of his head. All the children that get baptized, gets their name on this tree and it stays in the church.
