We had Grace baptized today at St. Stephen's Episcopal Church in Wimberley, Texas. I was quite a nervous parent to say the least. Not so much about the baptism part, but more about the toddler in a white dress that needed to say clean until the service part. She did great! I picked her up from the nursery five minutes into the sermon as instructed and wouldn't you know, it was right at the beginning of snack time. She wasn't exactly excited to leave the table. So, I picked up a few goldfish to go and off we went. I walked in as Rev. Jennifer was talking about my family and our Mennonite heritage. It was such a wonderful message!
We were so thankful to have Trey's parents, his Oma, Eric (Gray's Godfather) and his girlfriend, Laurie with us to witness this wonderful event.
Gray was watching Father Patrick and the water very closely. She was very curious about the whole thing.
After the first drops of water, Grace looked at Father Patrick like, "What do you think you're doing?" The drops that followed she thought were funny. THEN she saw the crowd of people standing around watching her and realized that this was all for her and she shot the crowd a huge smile!
She was perfectly content being rocked in Father Gahan's arms.

I don't know why this crazy thing wouldn't let me move this picture into the correct order, but here we are after the service today.
