Ian goes to school

Mom took Ian to school yesterday to introduce him to all her second grade students. While she was there they had a surprise baby shower with cupcakes, juice, and decorations.

According to this picture. Ian may not be ready for school quite yet.


Here, the other second grade teacher takes a turn in holding Ian.

in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. ...

This Saturday, Ian was welcomed into the Lord's kingdom through Holy Baptism. Ian's Godparents are James and Nancy DeFrain. The officiant was Ian's grandfather, Rev. Fred Leighty. Following worship, everyone gathered to celebrate at Luther Hall, on the campus of Concordia Theological Seminary. It was such a blessing to share this occasion with family and friends.

The video shares pictures along with audio of the baptism and a song that was played.
