A very special sprinkling

Yesterday was a very special day. Lucy got baptized! We were at my parents' for the weekend and even though my mom is still in rehab, they released her for a couple hours so she could come. We had planned it for a August but it ended up falling through then so we were all holding our breath to see if we could make it work this time so it was wonderful how well things came together. Praise God!

Lucy took a good nap in the morning so when we got to church she was wide awake and in a great mood.

She was quite interested in what was going on,

and behaved very well during the service while she was waiting for her big moment.

But once Father B. took her, she began to get a bit nervous.

And once he started getting her wet, she decided she did not like it at all.
But even though she looks quite distraught here, she wasn’t really crying very loud. It was more of a mild protest. And after a quick introduction to the congregation, she was back in my arms and calmed down relatively easily.

The whole process was so exhausting she slept through most of the post-service pictures!


But after we got back to the reception, she perked up a bit and we snapped a few more.
