Recently we had my nephews baptism. Granted it was a Catholic baptism, and I wasn't the sponsor. But I was the witness. Deep down in my heart though, I am his sponsor. Don't care what the church says. I think my brother and sister-in-law see in me that I go to church frequently, I am active in my church, and I try to live a God pleasing life. I do so with the very best of my ability. I know I am not perfect. No one is but God. That is beside the point. Anyways......
The baptism was very good. Mister Logan was napping when they arrived at the church. Then monkey awoke and was fussing a little. Got bottle, and was a happy munchkin. The sermon from the Priest was long and boring. Sorry to say that! Didn't really pay attention. Was looking at my nephew. The the priest said something that made Ryan's ears perk up. He said "there are things that Catholic Priests can do that Lutheran, Methodist, Presbyterian Pastors can't do." Ryan said this to me during church, but we discussed this further once we got in his truck. Ryan didn't catch what he said after that due to my nephew making noise. Basically Logan was telling the Priest to hurry up and get a move on the baptism. Once at the baptismal font with bottle in hand, all went great. Was very cute. Bottle got taken away, Logan just stared at my brother when he got blessed. Looking at my brother like "why did you take my bottle away, I want it back, I am hungry." Then he got his bottle back, and the priest placed on my nephew an embroidered bib. My nephew was cute. He pushed it away. Sheri (the other godmother) and I just smiled and laughed. No tears though when he got "dunked". Once he was all fed. he was a happy camper. He was getting burped and decided to talk to Grandpa Jim (my dad). He was sitting right behind my brother. Too cute. And Logan was not talking quetly.
Once pictures were all done, we moved onto brunch. Yum! We went to Colonial House in Freedom. Very good buffet.
If I get copies of pictures of the baptism I will post them in a later blog. I will definitely take pics either at Thanksgiving or Christmas (of course). Not sure if we will see him on Thanksgiving.
I love holding my nephew. He is such a cute monkey. I can so tell he is a Kling as well. I looked at my baby pics, and some of his facial expressions match mine when I was that age. Some of them he looks like my dad. Just like I did. Still can't tell who he looks more like. I don't care. He is cute either way.
Now onto more news. Our good friends Nate and Jill had a bouncing baby boy. Weighing in at 9lbs, 2oz, and 21 inches. Born Saturday 11/12/11 at 6:17am. Name is Ethan Eugene Nysse. He is such a cute monkey. Not a peanut, he is not small. He is 2 ounces bigger than my nephew, but matches in every other way. Logan was 9lbs even and 21 inches when he was born.
We are Uncle Ryan and Auntie Jodie to three of the most amazing children. They are Olivia and Ethan Nysse, and Logan Kling. We are very proud of them. Also we are like an aunt and uncle to Haylee and Nathan. Pictures will be posted once I get or take some.
Until then! Have a good day!
God's Blessing!
