Baptism

My heart cries out to write a sweet and detailed account of Oliver's baptism, but I simply do not have the energy to gather my thoughts into the words they deserve to describe that precious evening at our home.  I do plan to write about it, but not tonight.  We wished we could have celebrated the committment and promises to our covenant child with our whole church family, but instead we had a small gathering with the elders and a very few close friends. 

Two days before Olivers's baptism our dear friend called me up and asked if I had an outfit for him to wear, and I fell apart in tears.  She stopped by later that day with a patterns in hand, and had his darling little outfit delivered to our door by the next morning.  She even added extra snaps for all the tubes!
