We were fortunate to have a lot of family in town for the weekend. The weather was so great for once! We sat outside for the first time with Natalie and since the sun was out we needed to get a hat to shield her from the sun. However, we only had one that was size 2T so we had to make it work! Natalie wasn't too impressed.
Chris' cousin Matt came into town from Des Moines and filled the role of Godfather to Natalie. My cousin Jillian came from New York and is Natalie's Godmother - both did an excellent job!
My dad Brian also came and met Natalie for the first time!
Chris' Godmother Darlene was able to make it to the baptism as a special treat.
Matt's parents Karen and David came up from Iowa as well.
We were able to get a 4-generation picture with my mom and grandmother...that was very cool!
At our church, they place a stone with the baby's name on it in the baptismal font and at the end of the year they gather all the stones and make them into a stepping stone to place in the church garden. Then each year the kids can go out there on the anniversary of their baptism and look at the stones - how special!
It was a great day - very memorable and spent with all of our favorite people!
