Our pastor, Sally Hughes, performed the sacrament, and Lily Grace was fascinated with the whole process. Later, when gathering to pose after the service for a family picture, Lily Grace leaned out of Tonya's arms, put her hand in the baptismal font, and proceeded to sprinkle water on her own head! Guess a repeat never hurts. :-)

We are blessed to have the love and support of such a wonderful family and our dear friends!

Celebrate! Celebrate! Dance to the music!
Looks like a good time was had by all. Maybe Lily Grace was trying to tell Sally that she preferred a little more water on her head. Preachers, take note: a good handful will get a baby's attention better than a finger-dripping sprinkle!

Lily Grace is growing so fast and looks as happy as ever! I can't get over how similar she and Madeleine look. They could be sisters. How fun that she was able to participate in her own baptism. :) God is smiling ear to ear at her!
