Baptism

This past Sunday was a very special day for our family.  Blair was baptized at our church that morning, and then we had a wonderful luncheon at our house afterwards. Events such as these are so stressful for me, and they really shouldn't be. I just get so worked up about everything being perfect. I stress over "is the baby going to cooperate, is the house going to be clean, is the food going to be ready", and such things as that. I don't know why I get so worked up; I just do. Luckily, everything went perfect. Blair was a little angel all during the church service. She was baptized with three other babies, and thank you God that it was not my child that stole the show ;) Vic, our pastor, always spends a few minutes talking about the name of the baby and what it means. He said that Blair Elizabeth meant she was going to be a great leader. He said she had the same name as two very powerful leaders in the world today, Tony Blair and Queen Elizabeth! HA! Guess I never thought of it that way.  After church we got home just in time to have a wonderful meal that was prepared by all the ladies in my family. Thank you SO much to everyone who contributed to making this a perfect day. 

On a side note, Blair turned five months today. She is doing all kinds of neat things. She is rolling over both ways, she is eating cereal twice a day, she sleeps on her tummy, and she is teething (that part isn't so neat). We are loving every minute with her and don't take a single day for granted. We are all headed to the beach on Saturday for a much-needed-week-long vacation. This is our first family get-away with Blair. I'm really looking forward to having next week off so I can spend every day with her. We'll post when we get back!
