Ben's Christening

JANUARY 17, 2009

Ben is christened today at our church, Dunwoody United Methodist Church. I was nervous about him crying or being too loud, but he was a perfect ANGEL!! He stayed awake, was wide-eyed when the preacher christened him and then promptly fell asleep in my arms for the rest of the service. Ingrid and my parents were there to share in this joyous event.
