Baptism

Lily's baptism was on Sunday at First Presbyterian of Marietta. Dr. John Wells did the ceremony. It was fabulous. Lily has been on the prayer list at our church since last November some time. The ministers and many members of the congregation were thrilled to see Lily doing so well, three months out from surgery. She took in every detail of the church, congregation and the ministers. She didn't cry or fuss at all. She was able to wear the dress that Grace, Aunt Anna and I were all baptized in. It was a very special day. Even the minister got choked up talking about what a blessing Lily is. She is so special, not only because of her heart, she is Grace's baby sister, our second daughter and a joy to be around. She has a definite temper, but an infectious laugh. She can't wait to be mobile on her own and jump in the pool like Grace. It should be an interesting summer.
