This morning Kathleen was baptized, and received the sign of belonging to the family of God. She wore the same christening gown that her mom, her Aunt Caroline, and her Uncle Kevin all wore -- the gown that was purchased by her namesake, her great-grandmother Kathleen. Since Kathleen is older than we had thought she'd be when she was baptized, we were a little worried that she might be too big for the family gown. But, to our delight, it fit like a dream. And Kathleen loves to play with the skirt, as you can see. She was an angel during the baptism. She didn't cry at all.
Her mom, on the other hand, did tear up a little bit. We were glad of the opportunity to publicly dedicate Kathleen to God, and promised to pray with her and for her, to teach her the doctrines of the church, and to bring her up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord. We look forward to the day that Kathleen can declare her own faith in Jesus.
Having Margaret, Craig, and the kids with us made the day more special. We'll celebrate this evening with a special dinner in honor of Kathleen!
