Baptized at Last

The Grandmas can now rest easy because Greta was baptized on August 1st. It was a nice ceremony after mass on Sunday, followed by brunch at a local restaurant. We were so happy to have family from both sides come to celebrate. We are so blessed to come from such loving families. Greta is lucky she has such wonderful people in her life.


Cousin Henry got to have a sleep over at Greta's house.


"Kissin' Cousins"


LorRae, Logan, and Greta. How fun it was to have all the cousins together.

Greta in her baptismal gown. The gown was made by Great Grandma Krump, and Mommy wore it when she was baptized.

Godfather Phil lighting the baptismal candle.

"And I baptize you in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit."

Greta and her Godparents. Unfortunately Godmother Kathryn couldn't make it as she was in Europe.

Greta with both Grandparents.

Greta and her cake. Mommy asked for a baptismal cake and it said, "Welcome to our world, Greta." We didn't quite get it.

Mommy found a great deal on a Bumbo (only $15 at Wal-Mart) today!

Greta in her hat ready to go see Daddy's work in the yard. It was very windy today. Daddy's been working hard building a deck and landscaping, while Mommy and Greta have been busy playing.

Can you resist those cheeks?

This is a picture from last weekend, but I couldn't resist putting it on the blog. How many Old Papas would get on the floor to play with their Great Granddaughter...too precious!
