Reagan's Baptisim 5.3.2009

On Sunday, May 3rd, 2009 Reagan Louise Mathews was baptized into the Lutheran church. It was such a special day to be surrounded by family and friends. We had family in from 5 states: Michelle's brother Ryan and his fiancee Danielle and friend Sara from Arizona, Joel's Mom & Dad from Wisconsin, Joel's brother Caleb from Nebraska, Joel's brother Aaron & his girlfriend Jen from Texas, and Joel's paternal Grandmother, Aunt, Uncle, & Cousins from Kansas. Michelle's parents and her maternal grandparents (Reagan's great-grand parents) were also in attendance.


We are so blessed to have three wonderful family members agree to be Reagan's sponsors - Ryan, Danielle, & Aaron. We know you will continue to be a spiritual presence in her life - thank you.

Reagan wore the same dress that I did when I was baptized 25 years ago. I was so glad it fit! And she was wrapped in the blanket Joel was wrapped in at his baptism 27 years ago. Joel and I are looking forward to fulfilling our duty as parents by bringing up Reagan in the church and teaching her of the love of Christ.God Bless Reagan
