well miss penelope was baptized this past sunday and it went perfect. penn did amazing and her godparents were awesome. was soo nice to have all the family there for this special day for penelope. so many friends and relatives were there and we all had a great time. penelope slept during most of the ceremony but woke up when the water was on her head. all she did though was get all wide eyed and just check everything out. she was soo good! spent a lot of the ceremony staring at and talking to her feet. her new favorite discovery/toy. she wore mom's dress for the occasion. that is over 28 years old and still in perfect shape -thanks to gma d. penelope looked beautiful in it and made her parents proud.
here are some pics from the day...
starting out the am with godmother lisa - holding her new lamb present from aunt lisa and uncle kevin.
more presents! mommy reading penn's card to her from gma and gpa dulle.
family picture! penelope is more interested in her hands.
parents, godparents and penelope during the ceremony. the blanket lisa is holding is from my gma lotich - was used for all her kids (my mom's) baptism and all us kids (dulle kids and cousins) and now for penelope. For a 50+ year old blanket - it is in perfect condition and so pretty.
getting the oil of cathechumans (no clue on spelling). this is the same oil that penelope carried down the aisle at church last month to present to father meier to be blessed. pretty cool.
getting the water blessing over her head - the actual baptism part. her eyes popped open here!
staring at the baptismal candle. as greg pointed out... they put oil on her head then handed us a flame. hmm....
with her godparents - uncle kyle and aunt lisa.

pretty penelope. she was soo good at church - she slept most of the time but woke up with the water on her head - but was still just wide eyed and happy! so much fun and such a good girl!
with mommy and daddy - getting a little down time at the church.
finally a smile! with gma and gpa h.
showing a little baby leg with gma and gpa d.
with great-gpa d and kay. again showing quite a lot of leg. penn and i have more talking to do about that...
it was bound to happen. sad baby. had a small breakdown - just needed her mommy. i think aunt becky is laughing at you while you cry penn. you might have to talk to her!
taking a break from all the fun to eat my hand. dont' mind me. just a mid afternoon snack :)
all the baptism keepsakes. this is mom's dress - 28 years old and looking good.
what a great day. god bless you penelope.
