Blessed Sunday

Grace was baptized at St. Agnes this past Sunday, and it was such a special event. We have been taking her to mass with us since she was 2 weeks old, and we've only missed a handful of Sundays (not too shabby with a 4-month old). I look forward to teaching her about God, and for her to develop her own relationship with him. This is only the beginning of her religious journey, and it is amazing to be a part of that and to help her grown in God.

My sister Laura and Greg's brother Jeff are Grace's godparents, and I'm excited for them to have that relationship with her.

Here are the pictures from Grace's baptism. In attendance were Grandma Barbara, Grandpa Ron, Aunt Laura, Uncle Matt, Ella and Will, Uncle Jeff, Ali, Great Aunt Shirley and Chick. My Dad and Virginia couldn't make it due to the weather, and we definitely missed them!! But hopefully they'll be able to come up for a visit in a few weeks.

Father Wisner was the officiant.

Grace didn't cry when Father blessed her with water, she just kind of flinched and acted more shocked than anything. She did really good!

Same thing when he blessed her with oil on the crown of her head.

We went over to Jeff's house after the baptism for a little reception. Everyone wanted their photo taken with the special girl!! And she finally let us put on her little bonnet. So cute!

She doesn't look too happy in this picture, does she? It must be Uncle Jeff! (Just kidding)

Her baptism cake was soooo good.

All tuckered out on Grandma's shoulder.
