Baptized in Christ
Our dear sweet Cecilia Rose was baptized this past Saturday. Adam’s mom and Fr. Tim flew down from Indiana for the big day when all her sins would be wiped clean and she would become a child of God and a sister in Christ! At the end of the Mass, Fr. Tim consecrated her to our Blessed Mother as he has done with all the children.
We had many friends and family join us. Brad and Misty Cey and family came from Houston to give us the honor of serving as Cecilia’s Godparents. Thank you all! You made the day such a blessing.
Here are some of the highlights (photographed by the talented Misty Gretencord (thank you!) and our neighbor, Chris).
Her God mother, Misty, made her a beautiful baptismal gown (her talents never cease to amaze me) and a friend from church, Bunny, knitted her little white booties for the day.

The kids were captivated with Grandma’s iphone!
Even though they always have been, now the Ceys are ‘officially’ part of the family!
Grandma with her 5 Texan grandchildren!
Little Grace discovering God makes babies smaller than her.
…and after the long day, Cecilia was quite pooped!
It was an absolute joy to be able to see you all, and to be able to celebrate such a special day with Cecilia! We love you all so much, and already miss you loads!
Such beautiful additions to the family (Ceys included)! The pictures are wonderful! Hope there is at least SOME tranquility down there! Love and miss you all!
