Z was baptized on Sunday. It was really great. As you all know, the wait to actually get matched with Z was over 18 months. A lot of that time I spent thinking about Z's baptism.
Our pastor M, is a very good friend of ours. We were very, very happy that he was able to do the baptism for us. The other pastor in the pictures is R. She is also wonderful.
Here is a photo of the four of us before the service. We are all dressed in our Chinese silks to celebrate Z.
Here are a few photos of the actual baptism.
Z didn't even cry when M held him or when he poured the water on his head.
The actual baptism.
After the baptism, we went to our favorite Chinese restaurant for lunch. T's parents were there and the Mc family joined us. We had a private room. Our waiter was impressed with our Chinese outfits and spoke to Z in Chinese.
Z is really learning to use a spoon and fork now. Sometimes he will only eat if he gets to hold his fork/spoon.
The children had their own table.
Then we went home and had a cake to celebrate. We watched the video of when we actually got Z. All in all it was a great day.
