Today was Emily's baptism into the Catholic Church. It was a real special day for the whole family. Mark and Monica were her Godparents and were both able to make it in for the ceremony. Father Andy was the celebrant.
When we got up this morning there was about 2" of snow on the ground, and believe it or not 2" of snow in Alabama can completely paralyze the whole area. As it turned out the roads were not cold enough for the snow to stick on them and it was just a beautiful white morning and everything had melted by the time we got out of church.
Johnny and Tracy took us out to Olive Garden after church and we had a nice meal and time to sit and talk and laugh. I would post the silly pictures we all made at the restruant, but I want do that and take away from Emily's special day. Maybe I will post them at a later date.
I wish all the family could have been here to celebrate with her, but it is almost impossible to get everyone together at the same time now. Sondra, David and Jonathan had taken care of Luke and Charlotte while Sarah and Cody came down to close out the sale of their house. Sarah and Cody's flight back to CO. left on Saturday. Tim, Andrew, Matthew and Aaron had to stay in Memphis for a retreat that Matthew was having today. The retreat was canceled because of the snow. Had they have known, they could have come in with Monica. Oh well that's what happens when there are so many family members.
All in all it was a wonderful day and we are truly blest to have such a large and beautiful family.
