For months I prayed to see this day, the day we would be able to bring our baby to the waters of Holy Baptism. Like Simeon I praise God for we have seen His salvation. Today Abel was bound and knit together in Christ’s death and Resurrection.
God has done this and it is marvelous in our eyes.

For the Nativity of St. John the Baptist, June 24th, we had a “Baptism Party” to celebrate the gift of Holy Baptism. I think this might be the beginning of a new tradition at our house.

Baptism days slipped by us this year without celebration. So much travel and figuring out how to do the school year made my mind go elsewhere. So as Esther’s day approached I decided we should do a 3 for 1 party and we celebrated the rebirth of Lily, Gerhardt and Esther last week.

Essie’s baptismal sponsors wanted to have a party for her. They hated that they missed her birthday in September so we did it all over again last weekend. So thoughtful of them.
Supper, gifts,cake and homemade ice cream!
She’s the only baby for whom we’ve chosen sponsors that actually live within 300 miles of us! It’s a blessing to have made some good friends here.
