Jovie’s Baptismal

Posted on | September 28, 2009 | 11 Comments |

Jovie had a very lovely baptismal. The priest who did it wasn’t our regular and so we weren’t sure what he was going to do (he kept saying he’s never dropped a baby before) and we thought he did a very nice job. The reading we could have done without (I’ll write where it’s from when I find the bulletin) but it was about cutting your hand off if your hand sins and plucking your eye out if your eye sins.

Anyhow, here are some pics… the dress is a hand-me-down (like most of Jovie’s stuff) from M and her booties were sent all the way from Malaysia by the lovely Cindy. Jovie was asleep before the event. She woke up a bit before the water hit her head but she didn’t cry throughout the whole ceremony.

Ok, so THIS was why the priest kept saying he’s never dropped a kid. I guess this is how he presents the newest member of the church to everyone there. It was really neat. I’ve never seen any of the priest do it this way.

Just us being blessed. The godmother is my best friend here in town. M LOVES her and her little boy. I think one day we’re going to be related since M and the little man get a long so well and he ALWAYS ask for M (and M does too) he he he… it’s so so cute! The godfather couldn’t make it and my friend’s husband was kind enough to stand in for him.

Jovie and dad. We had lunch downtown after the event. Check out this little daddy’s girl. Of course the husband’s ecstatic about her loving him like this. M was and is a momma’s girl and we think it’s mostly because he was gone a lot when M was little. So he’s so happy to have a second chance!

There’s sister. I love my M’s style. Fancy dress with converse {::SMILES}. Love her little dress. It’s a Hanna Anderssen dress that I found at a consignment store. I {HEART} consignment stores!!! I hope there are some in England!!!!

Here’s our little angel. She’ll be four months this weekend. Time goes by!!!! She’s starting to grab things. Not very well but trying to.

This is a close-up of her booties. CUTE CUTE CUTE! I need to put her little outfit back on again today. I never got a close-up picture of her and her garb. We (as usual) were rushing out the door.

Great photos! Love them! I really have to say that many people always coo about each and every baby and while I think they're neat in person, I think on pictures this is often not the case. But Jovie is really (!) an exceptionally beautiful baby. And M certainly makes the boys heads turn, the clothes & chucks (as we call Converse in Germany) are such a fun combination! Thanks for sharing :)

Oh, love the pics! And on the scriprtures from the bulletin, they are from Matthew 18. I believe it is talking about that we are all parts of the body of Christ. And that if one part of the body is sinning and causing you to stumble, then it is better for you to cut them off (meaning not associating with them) and continue to serve God. I hope that helps! :) Love little M in her sweet dress and her cute sneakers! :)
