We ended our great week of Vacation Bible School with Bodhi getting baptized on Sunday. We filled up the first three pews with all of our family--Grandma & Grandpa Meyer; Grandpa Linde and Marilyn; Karlin, Lee, and Duncan; Jeff, Baxter, and Sophie; Great Grandpa Meyer; and Tammy, Nick, Kendra, Zack, and Heidi. When we went up to the front of the sanctuary for my baptism, my Godparents (Uncle Jeff and Aunt Karlin) went up with us. They even put my name up on the projection screen! I really didn't mind it when Pastor Eric poured the water on my head--it reminded me of bathtime, which I just love! Then, when Pastor Rebecca introduced me to the congregation, I thought it was pretty cool how the whole church said that they would help raise me in the church! Afterwards, we headed out to Marilyn's house, where we had a great little barbeque. Daddy made burgers and hot dogs on the grill, Grandma Charlotte brought along all of the toppings, Marilyn made potato salad, Grandma Karen made some fruit salad and brought some chips, and Tammy brought ice cream, which we enjoyed with the great baptismal cake from Connie at Piece of Cake. It was also like a birthday cake, too, since it was Tammy's birthday. After the yummy lunch, we all enjoyed the beautiful scenery out at Dark Canyon, and some of us even walked along the creek to check it all out (at least that's what Mommy said; I did have to take a short little nap...). It was such a wonderful day, and I know that I am truly blessed to have so many people that care so much about me!
