Baptized

Josie was baptized this past weekend, with most of the family there to witness. She slept through the ENTIRE thing, including the water part. Ed spent a lot of time in the back of the church with G'pa Ohio, being brought up when it was Josie's turn. The Priest went around to each family and then everyone was brought up to the baptismal font. I know my spelling is atrocious on this post...

The Priest had a cloth he used to wipe the baby's heads and he then got Eddie with it too, causing Eddie to laugh. He watched most of it, sucking his thumb the whole time. It was right during his nap time, so we were pretty impressed with how well he did.
THis is her getting ready. There were 5 kids at this baptism, and being the factory this church is (we were married there too and they have a lot of events/sacraments happening all year). Baptisms are conducted on a Sunday afternoon separate from the regular services.
All these babies were being brought in infant car seats with little hanging dresses being carried in with. It was quite the sight. Josie fell asleep shortly after we got to our pew. She wore family garments from both sides, as did Eddie.


The little hat was adorable, but she fussed pretty definitely shortly after this was taken and besides, it had to removed for the ceremony anyway.

One thing I learned from this was that 3 cameras to document is 2 too many. In all the group shots, people didn't know where to look, so everyone in most pictures is looking at different cameras. Oh well, it's the event, not the pictures. Was good to have a variety, but we should have been more organized about getting everyone to look at one camera--or only using one camera at a time. I always worry about inconvencing people or being a pain, so didn't want to say anything. Still got some really good photos.
