Kambria's Baptism

We send our love to all the friends and family who came from far and near to celebrate this special day with us, including those who sent their support but weren't able to make it. Before going to the church, Kami said to me, "A lot of kids are nervous when they get baptized. I'm not -- I'm just excited." Then, as more and more people started arriving, the more shy she became. The attention, which she thrives on, was even more overwhelming than she expected, I think. Again, I am so sad I didn't get pictures of the Wilcocks, Raymonds, Grandparents, Aunt Heather, and so many more. I stink at this stuff.




Cousin Curtis just arrived from Peru two days prior

Nate's family traveled from Casa Grande (practically another state)

Grillones traveled from New Jersey

Speases traveled from California

Kam said the water was so cold. It took a while to get warmed up afterwards.

For the closing song of the program, we asked all the children to stand up front and sing, "I Am a Child of God." I realized that Gavin wasn't there. He had fallen asleep while driving to the church building so Eric laid him down on a couch in the foyer. We both got so busy with the baptism and, I must admit, forgot about him. Please don't report us to CPS. I turned to Eric and asked, "Where's Gavin?" He asked, "Did he ever wake up?" I had to snicker. I couldn't believe we didn't know. Sure enough, he was still on the couch in the foyer. So here's a snapshot of what Gavin experienced while we all viewed Kami's baptism.
