this past sunday was lucy's christening.. technically, 'christening' is used in catholicism; 'baptism' in methodism and others. so, lucy was baptized this past sunday. all of my parents came and so did my grandparents. it was so nice to have everyone together.
before church, everyone met at julius' parents' house, which is a short walk from the church, to drop off food and have a quick hello. then we were off to the church. the baptism was at the beginning of the service. lucy did SO good! she was awake and just looking around the whole time. my mom said that she kept looking at the preacher when he was talking. then she would look around at all the people then back at me and her daddy. she didn't cry or fuss at all. she was an angel! after her baptism, she was passed to 'mimmy' (ju's mom) and she fell asleep. she woke up just in time to take a few pictures before heading back to the house for lunch. we had finger foods and everything was so delicious. now for the best part of lunch--the cake. i had been looking forward to this cake ALL week long... just ask ju. he was so tired of me talking about it. i actually dreamt about it.. twice. yeah yeah yeah, pitiful. i know. but what can i say?! i LOVE sweets!! after eating lunch and having dessert, lucy went to sleep, and the rest of visited. it was such a beautiful day. so sunny and just the perfect temperature. i spent most of the time on the porch, which is probably my favorite place at their house. all in all, the day was perfect. the only thing that would have made it better would have been if lucy has stayed awake longer... but everyone did get to see her happy and smiling before she went down. here are a few pictures from the day. something was going on with our camera, so the all of the pics are blurry except the few i took w/my phone.
