Baptism

Morgan was baptized today. She wore the dress made for Heidi's cousin Kris's baptism, subsequently worn by a family friend, Heidi 15 years later, and now Morgan. Overall it was a very nice church service and Pastor incorporated her baptism into various parts of the service. Morgan usually sleeps through church, but of course not today. Thankfully she was good during the baptism, and it was fun to have her awake and watching everything happening. She didn't even make a peep when we all drenched her head! Joining her in celebrating was her G&G Kopp, G&G Hobbs, Great G&G McGuire, Aunt Nicole and Uncle Bryan (Godparents), Aunt Briana, and Great Aunt Rosalie. We are so thankful for all of the family love and support.

After church we had a BBQ at our house and enjoyed the beautiful September weather. We were not only celebrating Morgan's baptism but also Grandparents Day and Bryan's birthday.

"We baptize you in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit." Everyone got their hands in and was encouraged to thoroughly drench her.

Blessing her head, eyes, ears, heart, hands, and feet

Proud parents (of course she's sleeping now that church is over!)
