Today, at long last, Colin and Veronica were baptized. We were fortunate enough to have our family able to join us for the celebration, with their three aunts serving as sponsors. They did fairly well, overall.
Another little girl was baptized this morning as well, and she went first. Veronica went second, and was not very happy about being dunked in the water, as you can see.
So by the time we got to Colin (who was last, by design, in case he freaked out), he knew what was coming. He didn’t even wait for the water; he just started crying as soon as Pastor Michelle picked him up.
Both babies settled down right away after getting back into their towels, which was pretty impressive considering it was in the middle of nap time, and I think they enjoyed being the center of attention.
We had a very nice celebration afterward, with the extended family, at our house. Colin and Veronica’s favorite gift was actually the gift bag from Grandma Fiegel. They spent a lot of time fighting over it and passing it back and forth.
It was a very nice warm up for next weekend, when we celebrate their first birthday.
(I put a few more photos on the photo page, if anyone wants to see more.)
