Lucy gets baptized

 

Today was a very special day. Lucy was baptized at First Presbyterian Church in Bellevue. She was surrounded by all of her loving family including Grandma and Grandpa Koberg, Grammy and Grandad Hiemstra, Uncle Matt and Aunt Kristina, Aunty Rebekah, Aunty Leah, Cousin Gavin and Andrew, Aunty Sarah and Uncle Chad and cousins Oliver, Avery and Elliott. In addition, Laura and Isabella Quartiello and Anne Sand were in attendance. 

 

 

 

Right before the ceremony, we lost Lucy's binkie and were a bit panicked going up in front of the congregation without anything to soothe Lucy if she got upset.  Fortunately,  Lucy stayed calm even when she was handed to the pastor.  She did let out a few little squaks just to let everyone know she was there, but overall she did great. After being baptized Lucy fell asleep in her Uncle Matt's arms for most of the service.  We selected a bible verse that Paul read during her baptism service. It was Mathew 5:14-16

 

 

After Church all of the family came over for brunch at our house. Lucy received many special gifts from her family.  It was a very special day and we felt very loved.
