On Sunday, June 19th (Fathers' Day), we celebrated Molly's baptism at St. David Church and then had a celebration back at our home afterward. We had a wonderful day with our close family and friends and were blessed to have everyone there to be a part of Molly's baptism. She did well at the actual ceremony, getting especially quiet when the priest poured the holy water over her forehead--she even tilted her head back further because she liked it and got water into her eyes, but was still smiling. She was exhausted from all of the activity and pictures at church, so went down for a nap when we returned home.
I have a few pictures to share now (from my dad and Paulette) and will add some of mine and more of my dad's hopefully soon, including some of Molly with her godparents, Christi and Tracy.

The whole day Ella kept saying, "This is your special baptism day, Molly! I'm so proud of you, sissy!"
