Up From the Waters

It's official, Abby is now a member of the christian community! You guessed it, today was Abby's baptism. It was a very special day full of God, family and food! Father Joe made the service very special by including not only the parents and Godparents, but the rest of the family too. We are very lucky to have found a home at Christ the Redeemer. Here are a few pictures of Abby's big day:

Such a loved and lucky little girl!

Looking good with Julia and Gracie

Love from my cousins

What a special day for a special little girl! She had a great time today even though she missed her afternoon nap. She was a trooper and partied with the best of them...and slept hard once she fell asleep at 10:45 pm!
