Baptism

Our precious baby was baptised yesterday. She wore the same dress that Avery wore when she was baptised, and was just a doll throughout the whole service. She even fell asleep during the sermon (no offense to the pastor, who gave a great message!)


Avery, as usual, stole the spotlight away from her, though. During the praise and worship singing, she danced back and forth in our row, jumping, turning, and throwing her hands up in the air as if to say, "Hallelujah! Praise Jesus!" It was pretty cute, although if you asked the other members of the congregation, they might not agree. Then, as Ella was being baptised and the four of us were all up on the stage, Avery found Nemaw, Grandpa, Mimi, Pawpaw, and Aunt Pat in the audience and couldn't resist the urge to wave enthusiastically at them several times.


Thank you to our wonderful, loving family for being there in support of Ella, and for our extended family, Doug and Leanne being there, too. We love you all.
