Baptism

Emory was baptized on January 8th. It was a really sweet day. She was very accepting of the water when it was dumped by the handful on her head. Overall, she did great.

But there were a few moments like the one below when I actually felt pain in my face as she yelled, and wiggled, and tried to go hang out with all our friends and family that had come to see her. She really put on a show. Now I know why they call it "INFANT baptism," because it's a little more challenging with toddlers. As she saw the babies with the water, she not-so-quietly said, " That baby SWIMMIN!" She said it one by one for the 5 other babies, and calmed down as she approached her turn...

The Coleys came for the big day. Also, her cousin, Coley, turned 8! She got to ride down with Papa and Grandmama from Atlanta. She and Emory had a very special visit.

We have this ONE tooth that is driving both Emory and me crazy. Push through. Push through.
