Abby was baptized over Memorial Day weekend. We had a family party on Saturday night where Rodger grilled and made use of his new fire pit. Everyone loved the movie couches, which arrived just in time for the party. On Sunday, Abby was baptized at St. Peter and Paul Church and we had another family party for her on that day. She wore the same baptismal gown that was worn by her grandmother, Karen; her mom, Valerie; her godfather, Andy; and her sister, Sophie. It is so special for us to have had her wear that gown. Abby's godparents are her Aunt Margret and Uncle Andy. We know that they will show her the way of the Lord and teach her to be a wonderful person. Her godparents gave her a beautiful add-a pearl necklace to remember the day. Also, Grandma and Papa brought back a very special gift from their trip to the Holy Land. Abby was given a small diamond cross which was from the River Jordan, which is where Jesus himself was baptized. I know that we will all help Abby remember her special day.
