Claire and Paige's Baptism


Claire and Paige were baptized this morning at Union Church in Berea, Kentucky by Rev. Kent Gilbert. The service was beautiful. Paige wore the christening gown of Andrew's great-grandfather, that Andrew also wore as a baby. Claire wore a dress made by Andrew's mom, Beth. Claire's smile turned into a frown when the water poured on her head. Paige had the same reaction, but Claire started to wipe away the water with a towel which made Paige smile again. It was so sweet. Andrew and I gave the girls a blessing and my mom had prepared one for them as well. There were few dry eyes in the sanctuary. When our reverend took Paige around for the congregation to see, I followed with Claire. Paige was wide-eyed and Claire didn't know what to think.
