Olivia's Baptism - September 6

Olivia was supposed to be baptized on August 30, but there was a huge windstorm that weekend, leaving many without power.  That Sunday morning was very chaotic.  No one knew if the church had power or not and you could only call people who had cell phones (and only if yours had battery-power still!).  Church ended up being cancelled that day, and the baptism postponed until the following Sunday.

I'm lucky to have a great-aunt who always offers to take pictures of the baptism during the service:

And once again, we are so blessed to be able to worship with both sets of our parents and both sets of our grandparents:
