The Harbins: Jackson's Baptism

Jackson was baptized on Father's Day and we celebrated with family at our house afterwards with a big bbq! Despite Max's shananigans during the actual baptism (picture a two year old's complete heartbreak and subsequent meltdown at not being allowed to play up on the altar and run down the aisles as desired), it was a wonderful day. The only thing we could have done to improve it was video tape the baptism so we can show Max when he's older and laugh at him. I mean with him. : ) Oh parenthood. Things don't always go as planned!

Jackson's Godparents: Aunt Meaghan and Matt Guy, Justins long time friend.

So handsome, and so naughty : )

I love this one of Jackson watching Meaghan.

"Aunt Meaghan, do YOU know what this is all about?"

So thankful my Dad got to baptize Jackson, just as he did for Max.

The baptismal water is super tempting....

Time to meet your church family!

Praying for Jackson. Max seems to have calmed down so we close our eyes to pray...

And then this happened.

The church photographer probably couldn't believe his eyes... so he just kept snapping pics haha!

Then we have "Uh oh my hands are wet".....

And then "OH NOOO my hands are wet waaaah!"

Pout.

As Max is whisked away to the nursery as quickly as possible, Jackson sends his beloved big brother a forgiving look. Max accepts and is on his best behavior for the rest of the day.

Jackson continued to sit with us for the the rest of the service like a perfect little angel : )
