Preston's Baptism

Griffin giving Preston some pre-baptism advice:

As the pastor was baptizing Preston, Preston was smiling!  The Pastor said, "I wish all of you could see this, it's amazing, he's smiling!"  It was a very sweet moment for us.

Preston and his Godparents, Jesi and Nate. 

Preston wore the same outfit that Griffin and my brother were baptized in, and the blanket was made by my grandmother. Griffin had it at his baptism and my grandmother has since passed away, so it's very special to us.  Jesi and Nate gave Preston a bonnet with a blue ribbon that he is holding in these photos, he'll also have it when he has his 1st communion and confirmation, then he will give it to his wife to carry on her wedding day....isn't that the sweetest!?!?

This was the pastor's 1st baptism!  He is also an adoptive parent, so it was very meaningful to him and to us. Brian and Heidi were our congregational sponsors, and we will be theirs when their baby is baptized.

 The whole crew!
