Last Sunday was a special day for our family. It was the day Lilly was baptized. Since I grew up in the Baptist church, I never even considered the idea of infant baptism until after I married Michael, a dyed-in-the-wool Presbyterian guy. Now that I’m getting used to the idea of baptizing babies, I find that I look forward to the ceremony and the symbolism.

After church, my parents invited us to join them for lunch at a Mexican place. To top it off, they paid for our lunch!

Lilly is the first baby since Laura to wear the beautiful dress that her Grammy made for Laura’s baptism. The dress seemed even more beautiful this time than it did twelve years ago. What a treasure our little Lillian Janice is!
