David's Christening

On somewhat short notice, Jennie and I decided to have David christened this past weekend.  Although Jennie had been planning and trying to figure out schedules of out of town family and the church for some time, we never were able to nail down a perfect weekend.   So, we finally decided we just had to get it done.  The main fear being the gown would not fit him if we waited much longer.  For those of you not aware, it is the same gown I wore, Tucker wore, Houston wore and probably several other members of my family wore.  We would have to enlist Mooma for those other stats.

It was a real low key event with the proceedings taking place at the 9:45 service followed by a Dobb's bbq lunch at our house.  Easy peasy Japanesey.  David did great despite having so many flashes go off in his face all day.  Houston was a little figity in the service, but Gigi handled him well.  His favorite part appeared to be the prelude.  I say this because as soon as it was over and the church was silent, he began to clap.  What can I say, he appreciates good church music.

One side note, during the service, Jim Sanders mentioned that David was the 6th generation of our family to be baptised in that church.  This was news to me.  Again, we need to enlist Mooma.
