Baptism.

Isaiah recieved his covenant blessing on Sunday 27th october.
We were blessed to have Rev.Wildeboer preach a thought provoking sermon on showing compassion. 
Isaiah was a cherub, sleeping happily during the service, right through the endless amounts of hand shaking all the way until we got home and were able to quickly snap up a family photo.

We shared the evening with Isaiah's Opas + Omas, Uncles + Aunts with soup and sandwiches.
We then quickly snapped some more photos. Sorry for the quality. Everyone wasnt really in the mood, and it was quite late so i had to use auto settings :(
But i am glad that Isaiah will always have these as a reminder.
