Baby Blessings - Big and Small

While we had everyone "under one roof" or on one coast, I decided it was time for our girls to have a christening/baptism. Instead of designating a church for these girls to be welcomed into, we decided to welcome them into Woodberry Forest's Saint Andrews Chapel. What better way to remember and reflect on our time at Woodberry. We had a perfect Sunday morning where we gathered with just family (including Mrs. Lee Robinson) and Dr. David Smith for a beautiful ceremony for the girls.

Two funny stories from our day...Aunt Gray gave both the girls personalized bibles for their special day. Harper instantly started flipping through it looking for pictures. The opening sleeve had a picture of Jesus with his hands raised up, when Harper saw him she asked "Name?" I told her his name was "Jesus" to which she replied "Jesus dancing".

We later found her looking through the pages again...I asked her what she was looking for..."I am looking for Jesus..." I told her that technically today she found him.

It was a perfect day and a perfect ceremony surrounded by family. It could not have meant more to me that our girls will continue to grow and love with these beautiful blessings over them.
