Evelyn's baptism.

On Tuesday, the 18th of September, we had Evelyn baptized at the church where I was confirmed. It was small - which was nice. She hadn't had a nap at all that day so I didn't have high hopes for her reaction to the Pastor touching her head, but she did really well.

Here are some pictures from that day. The Pastor remarked that he has never had people from so many different places come for a baptism. There was one from Finland (Noora), two from Illinois (Dan's Mom & step-Dad), two from New Mexico (my Aunt Sarah & Uncle Paul), two from South Dakota (my Grandparents), and then three of us from Japan.
