Samuel Gets Baptized

Many friends and family traveled far to be here to celebrate Samuel's baptism, and it could not have been a more special and blessed event. My mother took on the chore of making the white garment, like she did for Grace's baptism, and it turned out beautiful. Complete with an adorable bonnet/cap and pieces comprised from my mother's wedding dress.  It's a shame he only gets to wear it once. At least I documented the occasion a bit better than we did when Grace was baptized. Thanks to all who made it and to my wonderful mother-in-law who opened her home and hosted a delectable spread for before and after the event for everyone.
