Baptism and BBQ . . .
Today was our grandson Landon’s baptism, so about 9:30 we headed up to Katy TX out I-10 west of Houston to Crosspoint Lutheran Church where Brandi and Lowell attend.
Sonja and Lendell, Lowell’s parents, came down from Oklahoma on Saturday so they were here too.
Here’s the proud GrandMa’s with Landon.
And here’s our granddaughter Piper holding her cousin.
The baptism was held outside in a heated pool, luckily for them, since it’s been going down into the low 40’s here at night, and I imagine it would be pretty frosty in there otherwise.
Brandi, Lowell, Piper, and Brandi’s BFF Shawna were all involved in the ceremony.
There was one other baby baptized at the same time, and then afterwards, we all went inside the sanctuary to attend the church service.
This church, like many others, is very high tech, with multiple large video screens and a great sound system. Before she got pregnant Brandi used to run the sound system at many of the services.
And that sound system is needed because instead of just a plain organ, they have an 8 piece band. The words of the hymns are projected on the screens, along with words of Scripture used during the service.
After the service was over we all headed down the block to a nearby Spring Creek BBQ where we had a great lunch.
Jan asked Shawna if after holding Landon, it made her want to have another child. Shawna, who already has two, laughed and said No, she just likes to hold the babies and then hand them back.
We had a great time and it was good to see Shawna and her family again.
Tomorrow we’re having breakfast at Jimmy’s Egg with Brandi, Sonja, and Lendell.
More then…
