We truly had the best day today. Both Graham and Ellie were baptized this morning at church. Although there were some rocky moments (Graham did NOT want his picture taken as you will soon see) overall the babies were great and the day went along pretty smoothly! We had lots of family in town to witness this special day and lots of friends (and even our OB who delivered the babies) attend the service.
"A baptism is a welcome to a life in God above- To all the joy and blessings that are part of His great love. A baptism is a happy time for families to share. A time for growing closer in God's strength and gentle care. But, mostly, it's a gift of hope to someone sweet and new. A gift your tiny child of God will keep a lifetime through."
Right after the baptism they walk the babies down the aisle and sing to them.
Again, Graham was good until you tried to take his picture hah!
Ellie and her God Mother Holly. Ellie's God Father Andy had a game today so he couldn't attend the service, but sent flowers to let her know he was thinking about her.
All our family. How blessed are these babies to have so many loved ones.
Dr. Howell and our family.
Graham with Uncle Jared his God Father. Although Graham's God Mother Rachel couldn't be there she is one of the most amazing Christians I know and will be such a great role model and support for him.
After a beautiful service we headed back to our house for a Sunday Celebratory Brunch!
The twins were very happy after a long nap! Loved all the attention.
