Welcome to God's Family, Abigail!


We had a wonderful baptism celebration this weekend. Family came from near and far. We were privileged to have Great Aunt Diane come and were surprised with Great Grandma Pulley's arrival, but missed Kaitlyn who is just a little too far right now in Germany.

 
 Here we are with godparents Sarah and Dan, and the pastor. Abigail slept the whole time (just like Lydia did for hers), and barely even flinched with the splash.

   

 Abigail wore the same dress made from my wedding gown by Grandma Jan.
She got a new baby cross necklace from Great Grandma Doris that she's wearing.

 With godparents and Lydia too.
 Grandma Jan & Grandpa Bruce
 Sarah, Grandma Linda, Stacy, Aaliyah & Greg
 Kathy, Grandpa Pulley, Great Grandma Pulley & Addie

 Sarah can't contain her smile while holding her goddaughter
 Grandma Linda holding Abigail in the chapel
Great Grandma Pulley holding Abigail at the party
 
 Family hanging out on the deck while Ben grilled brats and hamburgers to perfection
 Great Aunt Diane, Stacy, Aaliyah & Grandma Jan mingling
 Diane, Abigail & Bruce chatting and admiring Abigail
 Uncle "Egg," Aunt Sarah & Matt reviewing camera class notes and sharing tips
 Abigail's laughing! It's always fun to see how these three will react when pushed together on a couch.

Jesus said, "Let the children come to Me... For the kingdom of Heaven belongs to those who are like these children." Matthew 19:14

 "Whoever believes and is baptized shall be saved..." Mark 16:16

Thanks to all those who came! Abigail got some really nice gifts too.
