Noah Dean Hippen, welcome to the Lord's family! You're a child of God from birth, but by Baptism you have been set free from the bondage of sin! You're such an amazing blessing, little one!!!!!
He slept peacefully through most of the service, until it was his shining moment! He wore his cousin's (Thomas) baptismal outfit.
Godparents Jay and Sarah Raymond embraced the moment, and love him so much!! Noah was attentive to what the Pastor was saying about him!
Big Brother Matt sang a solo in church for Noah...
The Borning Cry... a lot of sniffles around the congregation, as it was VERY moving, and so special. Noah squirmed a little, and Matt did an amazing job with staying focused on the song, while rotating his little brother in his arms. A few tears even escaped my eyes, as it was such a cherished moment.
Ben wasn't sure which camera to look at during out "photo opp."... but he looked handsome in his acolyte robe anyway (he was trying not to smile, due to his newly acquired braces on his teeth).
It seems like all we do is gaze down on Noah... he captivated us endlessly. He's such a blessing, and reminds us of what's REALLY important in life.

It's not too often that very many from Hippen clan make it to ND at the same time, so this was a neat photo to get. Dennis & Jodi, (Karyn, Ed, & Noah of course), Karen (Grandma), Dean (Grandpa) and Stephanie (Biological mommy).
We had a reception at the house after church, with WAY more food than we needed (yes, Ed was right... I over-estimated AGAIN). ha. This cake turned out beautiful, and will be delicious to share with my office this week. ha
