O Holy Lord

Grace's Baptism
How sweet, how angelic...


Never before, in the history of the world, has a photograph conveyed raw emotion better than the following. It was a disaster adventure.

***Please take special note of the position of Jared's lips. We both had a bad case of the Shhhhh's. The kid cried the whole time. THE WHOLE TIME!!! It was something, although I'm still not sure I can find the words. You could hear the giggles, you know, in between Grace's screams, coming from the pews every time the priest came near her. We did our best to constantly have a sucker in her mouth, because rewarding a screaming heathen is the cornerstone for good parenting.

Nothing really worked. So she just screamed. What can you do? We couldn't just leave, although we thought about and shared the idea.

Finally the screaming baptism was over. We took some photos and took our monster home. I'm sure I'll be paying for therapy because of this. Don't know when we will take her back to church, but I promise I'll bring a bag full of suckers. She really is a good, sweet kid. I promise.
