Triple Baptism

Our family had a wonderful moment on the final weekend in April. Alexander Brian was baptized into our church. Along with Alex, Briana's baptism was remembered by expressing her faith. She had never been baptized in a church-only in the hospital when she was in the NICU. Also, Brian was finally baptized into Christ as a believer! It was very special to have all three family members brought together in such a sacred way. Brian was first, so he could then be a baptized Christian when we professed our commitment to raise Alex as a Christian. Then came baby Alex, and Briana was last. Our family friend and fairy godmother joined in the sacrament and is now an official godmother to Alex and Briana (she would like to be Brian's, too-but that might be a little weird). It was truly special. Afterward, we got the best donuts in Columbus and went home to play Wii. Susan joined me in Dancing with the Stars and the Wii shootout. It was great fun!
