Luke's holy bath

We enjoyed an exciting weekend with friends and family for Luke's baptism. Tom's brother, Doug, came from Chicago to meet Luke and witness the baptism. During Doug's visit, Luke saw several Portland attractions. We had lunch on a tour boat, shopped at Columbia Sportswear, saw the animals napping at the zoo, and watched a UP women's soccer game on Friday. After Tammy's grandmother's 1-year memorial service on Saturday, we had great Chinese food, took a ride on the tram, visited the science museum, and went out to dinner. Sunday was Luke's big day at church - he had a water awakening, both spiritually and physically. We were blessed with so many friends and family who celebrated Luke's baptism.
