Baptism Weekend

Carly's Baptism weekend officially began on Wednesday with the arrival of her Aunt Julia and David taking the remainder of the week off (sort of) from work. The festivities though did not begin until Friday when more family arrived. Carly got to meet her Great Aunt Kit and Great Uncle Bill, and play with her Great Aunt Bubble and Grandma again. Carly enjoyed showing off her talents and favorite rooms in our house.

On Saturday she continued to show off her many talents (pulling up and cruising in particular) and her toys. David was able to get in two boat rides with his family. His first trip was a cruise of the lake, and the second was for some water skiing for Julia and Aunt Kit.

Sunday was the climax of our weekend. Carly awoke VERY happy and right on time. She played with her Dad and Aunt Julia while I made some final preparations for the party that followed the church service. Carly continued her happy mood into the church, even as she was being dressed. She sat and played with Aunt Kit and Julia during the first portion of service and was very alert while Dr. Cain walked around with her introducing her to our congregation. She was vocal while being baptized and enjoyed playing with her beautiful gown (made by her Grandma Orr) while we prayed for her. We followed up the service with a cook out with family and friends.



Thank you to everyone who helped make this weekend special for her.
