Graduation, Baptisms, Birthdays & Father's Day

It was a busy weekend with Caroline graduating from Woodland High on Friday night, a joint graduation party with Caroline, Nicolina & Nathalie on Saturday, a baptism on Sunday morning and a big party on Sunday afternoon to celebrate several birthdays and Father's Day.

Our three graduates Nicolina, Nathalie & Caroline.

The graduation party on Saturday afternoon.

Nathalie left on Sunday and Grover promised her a flight around Mt. St. Helens before she went home to Finland. Saturday evening Grover flew Nathalie & Caroline out of the Woodland airport for a quick trip around the mountain with really great weather.

Elise & Kohen were both baptized at the Bethany Lutheran Church in Longview on Sunday morning. The pastor is Barney Rinkel who is Kurt's dad. So it was kind of neat for Grandpa Rinkel to baptize his grandchildren.

Nellie was dedicated at the ceremony just before the baptism.

Kristopher with his birthday card and cash. We also celebrated Mercedes, Rebecca & Chris Layton's birthdays. We had carrot birthday cake at Chris' request.

Grandpa got to spend some time with Jonah who was his usual animated self.
