A Beautiful Day for a Baptism

When I called my sweet friend Heidi to tell her that we were coming I was very pleasantly surprised to find out that her sweet #4 Josie would be getting baptized.  We met at church in Waterloo, NY and then went home with Heidi and her family.  After much convincing from her siblings, Josie agreed to be baptized in the canal behind the house.  I think everyone breathed a huge sigh of relief that the sun came out and it actually felt warm, as there was no back up plan!

It was so beautiful.

After the baptism we enjoyed hanging out with friends and family and Josie enjoyed her celebratory mug of hot cocoa and entire can of whipped cream as was promised!

And Kate had the longest nap ever... and was still tired and grumpy when she woke up, poor little muffin!
