On May 24 we held a baptismal service at a lake just north of Alkmaar. Ans, Justin and Zeina were baptized.

presentation of flowers

In Holland no baptism (or much of anything else for that matter) would be complete without flowers. This time the ladies got the flowers and Justin received a plaque.
