Last weekend Beckett and Claire were baptized. It was a beautiful day and the service was very nice. Both Claire and Beckett looked adorable. Beckett wore a Christening outfit that his great grandmother made for Chris when he was baptized and Gloria saved for all of these years, and Claire wore a beautiful silk gown that Mom and Dad gave to her. They behaved beautifully throughout the entire service and did not cry, even when water was poured on their heads. In fact there were virtually no tears until the pastor said something about casting Satan from them (it sounds worse than it was... it is a Lutheran church after all!) and laid her hands on them. It must have scared them because they each cried when she did it to them!
The babies are quite lucky to have my sister, Ashley, as a godmother and TWO godfathers, our dear friend, Ken, and Chris's brother, Dan. It was a very special day and my only regret is that we did not take any posed pictures with our family and the godparents that were present. However we did get some great candid shots (and are going to try to recreate a posed shot or two with the babies in their clothes when we get a chance.)
The church is just up the street from the house and it was such a beautiful day the guys (who were not wearing heels) decided to walk home with the babies. I snapped this adorable picture as they arrived back to the house.
