Baptism

Last Sunday we had the privilege of my dad baptizing Kendall. A few months back I was talking to a friend of mine who has a daughter two months younger than Kendall, and we thought it would be fun to get the two baptized together. Both our girls have a similar stories (difficult pregnancy, early arrivals, medical "issues", and both are cloth diaper babies) so why not share another special moment:) Andy and I had been discussing when we wanted Kendall baptized but never were able to set a date, so this was perfect! It was a wonderful, meaningful ceremony and we appreciated everyone who came to support and witness this special time in Kendall's life.

Here we are with Papa

I think we all felt like this by the end of the day;) Alley's new favorite thing to do..."look at me mommy!"

Trying to get a family photo with Papa
(I wont tell you how many shots we got with one or both kids looking the other way!)

Us with the godparents - Tom and LeeAnn
The Rasey's have been wonderful friends of ours for the past few years and we couldn't think of a better couple to join us and support our daughter during this time. They love our girls like their own and I must say, our girls are head over heels in love with them!! Thanks you two for the love and support you show all of us:)

The whole family
What a wonderful day was had by all!
