Adalynn's Blessing

Last week we made a trip to Oregon.  On Thursday, August 2 at 6 p.m. Adalynn was baptized in the Calapooia River in Brownsville.  It was the same spot her sister was baptized in 2009.  And Rev. Wes officiated both the girls' baptisms as well are our wedding.  It was a very special evening surrounded by family. 

Nana Julie made Adalynn's baptism gown.  It was completely different than Lauren's but just as gorgeous.

The river was a bit chilly but the day was gorgeous.  This was pre the 100+ degree days!  I think it was only in the 80's.  But why should it be any different, our wedding was 90's and Lauren's baptism was 80's.  Adalynn took it like a pro and only flinched a little and squawked once.

 Lauren was so excited when Rev. Wes said her name during the ceremony!  And notice the cousins didn't pass up an opportunity to put their feet in the river with us!

 The cousins lounging later that evening! I love this pic.  So natural of all the kiddos.

 Auntie Erin....it's easier to say than Godmother Erin, but Adalynn will understand! 

It was great to see everyone and we were so glad everyone could make it for the special evening!
