We decided to baptize Dylan while we were home for a number of reasons, close to family, didn't really have a church we called home in Singapore, and the pastor that married us could do it, Marlin Finn.
Uncle Ryan flew in for the baptism, our good friends from Singapore, the Kirkham family showed support, and my uncle Jan and cousin Natalie drove in from San Antonio. Dirk's parents also drove in from San Antonio and it was so nice having so much family support. My mom had just had cataract surgery plus a corneal transplant on April 4th so she was still healing but made it a special day for Dylan anyway.
Michelle Bruce monogramed Dylan's outfit with a D.R.D. and we are so thankful for thoughtful friends who care so much for our little man.
Dylan did great during the ceremony and almost made it to the end without breaking down but it was nap time and boy was he tired.
I will always remember this day. Not only did Dylan get welcomed into a church home, we met some important people who introduced us to our new friends the Paulsen's in Singapore. I will also remember this day because it was the last time I saw my uncle before he was diagnosed with stage four lung cancer.
