Josiah's baptism

To cap off a busy weekend, we had Josiah baptized the Sunday after Thanksgiving at Fox Point Lutheran Church in Milwaukee.
 Josiah wore a baptismal gown that has been in Ed's family for about 70 years, worn by Jojo's great aunts, grandma, daddy, aunts, and several cousins, to name a few. Aidan wore it most recently, back in August.


I love this photo!

Thomas decided to help, so he scooped water onto Jojo's head as well. 
An extra blessing!

 Pastor Bill and Josiah. Pastor Bill married us and then baptized Thomas, so it was wonderful to continue this link with him.

Note the blurry streak off to the left--that would be my Uncle Mark, racing up to stop Thomas from trying to tip over the lit candles behind us. Happily, he made it in time!

 Thomas tries to stop Abbey from walking down the aisle. I imagine Dustin appreciated this!
