Zoe’s Baptism
:: 05.31.09 :: Zoe’s Baptism
Zoe was baptized. Yay! My youngest sister, my mother, and my mother-in-law all made it out to my church
for this very special occasion. I compiled the few photos that we took along with a video (It’s pretty
choppy since I’m still trying to play around with these stupid video tools). Parents whose children were
getting baptized were asked to answer 2 questions in front of the congregation. I lost it while answering
the 2nd one.
She was wailing in the video cause she wanted to come to me. I had to keep holding the mic with 2 hands
cause my hands were shaking so badly.
Man, your kids make you cry a lot. She’s turning me into a softie. I hate that.
Despite all the crying on both mine and Zoe’s part, I was very happy this day. Very happy for Zoe.

That is so sweet! But why must you make me cry like a softie also???? Zoe looks beautiful like always. How can you carry her for nine months but she looks so much like her daddy?
OMG Susan. Stop making people cry. I’m glad I didn’t have to do this otherwise I would never have made it through J’s baptism!
oh susan… so sweet! You’re officially someone I want to know for the rest of my life! Sisters in Christ 4-EVER!!! I love how you love Zoe so much. your big heart is very evident to me! Brady got baptized last sunday. no family and jeenie took a few camera phone pics. it was bitter sweet for me. at least you got yours on video. i was going to ask for a raincheck as soon as we got to church, but life moves on. What a Happy day!
yay! happy baptism zoe!
this made me laugh and cry at the same time and if I grow ass hairs I am blaming you!
Yey Zoe!! You are an awesome parent. May God bless your family. The speech was very touching.
aw congratulations zoe on your baptism!
CONGRATS! that was sooo sweeeeeet….
congrats, zoe.
i’m surprised she didn’t start bawling when the pastor poured water over her head. you made me eyes well up woman. zoe is truly blessed to have such amazing parents.
@katchoi - i feel like ALL mommies feel the way with their own kids. i think the difference between a parent with one child and two children is:
mommy of one: omigod i love her and i breathe in the scent of her hair every morning.
mommy of two: yeah i love them.
hahaha….wait till i have two. i’m sure it’ll be different for me. hahaha
no one else recorded the baptism for you?
Awwww you big softie.
What a special and great day is…….not only do we have a huge smile, but God as well……Girl, HUGS!!!!…Zoey, HUGSSSSSS!…Zoey is truly special, not only is she darn cute and adorable…BUT SHE BROUGHT YOU TO HIM!!!…girl, you got me crying with ya…The sweatest message and wonderful moment…….I AM SO HAPPY FOR YOU AND YOUR FAMILY….Thank you for sharing her and the many funny and great moments with us……….TODAY, IT IS A GREAT DAY FOR ME……..!!!!!….
@PetiteMandoo - nawwww, i think i’m more sentimental this time around because God heard my prayer and showed me that THROUGH HIM EVERYTHING IS POSSIBLE…remember, i thought i was done………..GIRL, BABIES MADE YOU SOFT………..MAYBE ITS A NEW PATH YOU NEVER REALIZED YOU HAD IT IN………hmmmm, ever thought of being a teacher…….??? anyways, congrats, i can’t tell you how happy i am for you guys……..she is very special to us as well..
i teared up watching the video… congrats to zoe ^__^
that was seriously beautiful!
Dude you suck for making me cry!
But Zoe still Rocks!
aaawwww that’s so sweet. i started choking up myself when you started!
poor zoe, just screaming to be her mama! so cute!
congratulations on zoe’s baptism! what a beautiful speech mommy! i get teary eyed too, whenever i think about God’s amazing love for my kids and how they have been individually chosen to be a child of God. i hope Zoe will grow up knowing the Lord and following him!
you a softy?!?
aww~ i LOVE the picture of c smiling in the background
woman, get yourself together! haha
that was a sweet vid. where’s the “like” button around here?
congratulations!! i thought that you would be between sobs in the video but it was nothing like that at all! you held it together well. after having my own kids, God’s sacrifice of Jesus for us, is made even more clear. A sacrifice that I wont ever be able to do, but God was able to do for us. I pray that Zoe grows up with the Holy Spirit in her heart. She will be raised well by such two loving and doting parents.
im freaking crying in the office!!!!!!! arggggggggggggggggggg!
Congratulations, Zoe!
aww that was very sweet and touching..my eyes started to water =)
I’m getting teary as Im watching this! *hugs*
congrats zoe! susan, what a beautiful video. i cried through the whole thing. esp when you were talking about patience and how you want to raise her with God in her heart. i feel the same way, esp about finding a new home church. arrgh i’m tearing again! now i need to go hug lila.
Your little girl is beautiful, and I was happy to watch her baptism. I am a mom of 7, grandma of almost 15, and great-grandma of 2. Four of my grandchildren are half Chinese. Their dad is the English speaking pastor of a Chinese Church in TX. May God bless your family.
My hubby asked “Why is she crying?” I responded with “Because she loves her daughter so much she’s getting a bit emotional.” Then, he looked at me and asked “Why are you crying? Do you know them?” Uhhhh…
@jiNNie_g - it’s cuz you understand, cuz you’re a mother with God in your heart…
congrats to u and zoe~! =)
oh that was so wonderful to watch
. congratulations to your family.
ummm…not only does zoe make you cry, she makes ME cry! that speech was soooo heartfelt and touching. i loved it. i loved seeing the video of you guys together. congrats zoe, may God bless you endlessly on your journey through life. *hug*
