Trixie was baptized yesterday! I have here a few pictures, but really want to leave this post to Sean. She made a funny face when Father Remski put the blessed salt in her mouth and she wiggled when the water was poured on her forehead but other than that she was completely calm.

She wore the same gown that all our children have worn, made by my mother, and she looked lovely.

Welcome to the Church Militant, my beautiful child.

Our original plan was to be at a lovely little park nearby, but it rained for the first time in months. Of course. So, we had it at McDonalds.

Our friends Renee and Charles with their children Samantha and Zakary:

Two of my brother’s kids, T.J. and Sophia:

After McDonalds we headed to our house to open presents and eat cake.

Bede and Gilbert lick the candles, with help from my brother’s youngest, Audrey:

Abby wonders where her cake is:

Whew! Let’s do it again in a year, okay?
