Isaac's baptism weekend Sept. 25-28

Isaac Edwin Van Hook was baptized by his grandfather, Bob Luidens, on Sunday, September 28, 2014.  We had family visit Omaha for the weekend to join us and celebrate Isaac's baptism, as well as enjoy food, spend time playing with Katherine, and just have fun catching up and passing the baby around!  Here are some photos from the weekend, in no particular order...

The main event - the baptism!

We finally got a photo of the four of us, but Kate was tired of photos by that point...

And even more bouncing with Uncle Josh!

He loves to grab.  Here he is enjoying Karie's long, grabbable hair!

We enjoyed eating and sitting outside in the warm sunny weather!

The bouncing continues on Aunt Abby!
