Anna's Baptism

Anna was Baptized on her 6 month birthday, and nearly all of her family came to celebrate.

As usually, Anna was smiley and curious to what was going on.


She stayed pretty relaxed, although I did have to sneak a bottle in during the service.


They don't skimp on the oil.

Laura was very excited, she couldn't wait for the cake when we got home. And yes Mandi, the smirks are the same. It's in the DNA.

As a very big surprise, Mimi and Bumpa gave Laura and Anna a sandbox for their 1/2 birthday. It was up to daddy to get the sand, and when told that, Laura asked if we could go to Menards to get the sand. I said sure, "Sure, we can go to Menards this afternoon to get sand." Laura said: "Let's go to Menards RIGHT NOW."

Of course, it was naptime and within 2 minutes of getting in the car, she fell asleep. Fortunately Bumpa came along and watched her while I ran into Menards to get the sand. All ended well.


"You scoop it!"


Sophie came over to join in the fun.


Ella too.
