Baptism

This past weekend was Grace's baptism. Tara, Grace's aunt, served as Godmother, and Paul Berland, a family friend, as Godfather. Grace is lucky to have two such amazing people to watch over her in an extra-special way!


Our little girl held up fantastically during the service and actually seemed to enjoy the entire holy water experience. When we got home I was doubly impressed by her general calmness as her entire body was covered with heat rash most likely sparked by the itchy tag on the inside of her dress. She even tolerated being taken out into the 85 degree weather for a couple additional pictures before being changed into the softest cotton dress ever created (thank you Auntie T!).

During the service, Olivia provided some entertainment by repeating, "All done song," when we went up to the front of the church to introduce Grace and to request the baptismal rite. She also insisted we discuss the numerous people sitting "up high" (in the balcony) multiple times! Olivia is definitely at the stage where she won't stop repeating whatever it is she's saying until rightfully acknowledged - it's quite cute most of the times and somewhat ridiculous at others.


After the service, we had friends and family to our house for a little lunch. It was great to have everyone together for conversation, food, and laughter. The kids all played together so well, and I have another post in the making detailing the fun events of Memorial Weekend.

Thanks everyone for helping make Grace's day a special one!!!
