The Baptism of Madelyn May Millar

On Sunday, January 18th, we welcomed Madelyn May Millar into membership in The Episcopal Church. Madelyn's godmother, Stephanie Santise, held Madelyn while I asked the blessing. Mom and dad (foreground), Ted and Lydia looked on, camera in-hand.






The baptism took place on one of the bitterest Sundays of the season. The weather, however, didn't prevent friends and family from being on-hand for the occasion.

I swear the cake weighed 40 pounds! About the same as a good-sized gog. Mom wasn't particularly pleased with the frosting color. Shocking pink! But I've got to tell you, the color didn't matter when you tasted it. I resisted taking some home.
It was a happy moment for mom and dad. We're looking forward to watching that little girl grow up in our midst.
