Baptism day

 

Chris baptised our third son, Bryce Jacobs on Saturday the 27th of November 2010. It was a wonderfully crazy day since I scheduled the baptism on Alex and Benson's birthday thinking it would be great for family who wanted to come celebrate both at the same time. Not thinking about the fact that it was 2 days post Thanksgiving. In spite of all of the crazy cooking, cleaning and entertaining we did-- it all worked out great. We even squeezed in black friday shopping at 5 am and a trip up the mountain to chop down a Christmas tree! We had Chris' dad and Julie come, along with his sister Amy and her family. It was wonderful to have everyone here to celebrate it all together!

We had the baptism at 11 am, and Chris had to fill the font since he was conducting as well as doing the baptizing. You would never know it if he was stressed having to do it all, he did a great job. Chris' dad, Cliff gave a talk that really helped bring the spirit into the room. I had tears in my eyes thinking of the choices that Bryce was making and how sweet and pure he is and always has been. From the minute he arrived here on earth and was placed into my arms, that boy has been a miracle and a joy to have in our family. He helped to heal my heart after 2 terrible miscarriages, and I will always have a special place in my heart for my Bryce.
