8 is Great!

At 7:21am 8 years ago today this cute boy came into the world.

On Saturday he will be baptized. Marcus is super excited. He picked out a forest green quad and had his name engraved in gold script on the front. Instead of it saying Marcus Andrew Bahlmann it says Marcus A. Bahlmann because it was one character too long. (I had the same problem for Andy. That means the younger two will not have that problem, though.) He has loved having Grandma and Grandpa here. He had aebelskivers for breakfast and will have chicken and fetticine for dinner.

It is not a stake baptism so it was a huge fiasco. I had invitations to send to people, but the date wasn't finalized in time. So, please know that we want(ed) you to come if you could/can. (Especially family. ie, the Bahlmann's, the Brugger's, the Dittmar's, the Rowley's, and the Turner's.) Here is the gist of the invite:

(The cover picture) 8 is great!

Inside cover had a photo of Christ and John the baptist with the scripture Romans 6: 4 "Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life."

When: Saturday January 16th 2010

Where: Palora Chapel (followed by the address)

Time: 10:00am

Why? Marcus Bahlmann is going to be baptized!

The back had the bat symbol Andy did that says Bahlmann. I couldn't get it to upload for some reason. Anyway, if you truly want to come let me know and I can give you the address.
