So this kid turned 8!
Here he is with all his sibs!
They are all getting so big!
In our faith, when a child turns 8 they get to decide if they would like to be baptized or not. Cullan made the decision to be baptized. So on October 19th at 5:00pm Cullan took the plunge.
Here are my two handsome guys before we left for the church.
Cullan and I!
Look at that. He is almost up to my shoulder...
He really needs to stop growing.
The three of us!
My dad was here from Iowa visiting, and so he was able to attend the baptism as well.
We had a picture with a sweet little poem and the programs sitting outside for people to take.
Here is the poem that is next to Cullan in the frame.
Baptism Day
Little child dressed in white
He takes your hand, you hold so tight.
He, with his arm to the square
Commissioned of Jesus Christ,
invokes the prayer.
You leave the water born anew
And pledge you’ll try His work to do.
Heavenly Father is happy today
Because you have followed His Son’s
chosen way.
Remember always to choose the right,
little child dressed in white.
Cullan and Garran ready for the baptism.
One more with the three of us.
Our little family.
Our family and my Dad.
My husbands sister and her family were able to be there to support Cullan on his big day. We love having them so close to us. It has been such a blessing.
Because there were others that we wanted to be there but could not make it, we tried to incorporate them in.
Garrans parent wrote a talk that was read by Uncle Joe.
Cullan's primary teacher Bro. Owens, who was just amazing to Cullan while we lived in IL, wrote a talk that was read by Tessa, Cullan's cousin.
It was a very special and emotional day.
Especially for me.
When I decided to join the church in 2000, I was baptized in the same font that Cullan was. It is a small thing, but one that I will cherish and something special between us.
I am so happy that Cullan made this choice and hope that he finds as much happiness as his dad and I have.
Congrats Cullan on your big day!
