Baptism

Hannah was baptized today!  She wore the same dress that my sister, Catherine, and I wore when we were babies, and Catherine's little girl Molly Ryan wore!  What fun to be able to pass down the same baptismal gown.  Matt's parents were able to come in town for the baptism, and we were so glad they were there!  Although we have a church family and people we have come to cherish here in Indianapolis, having actual family there to celebrate special events is so wonderful!  We are so thankful that they drove to spend the weekend with us and to celebrate!  Grandma Margie gave Hannah a beautiful cross necklace that she wore for the day.  Luckily, Hannah never "discovered" it!!  She was such a good girl up in front of the church.  She smiled and cooed and kicked her legs in joy.  There were no cries at all, even with the water!  It was a very special day, and we pray that Hannah grows to know Jesus and that He gives us wisdom in raising her up in a home that knows Him and loves Him.
