Sweet, precious, baby girl. You were baptized this past weekend, on June 9th, 2012. It was such a great time, and you were such an amazing little girl. Grandma and Grandpa Culp, Uncle Alex, Grandpa Green, and Aunt Kendra and Laura all came down for your baptism. The Frommelt family was all there too.
You were baptized at Church of the Ascension in Overland Park, KS, which is where we are parishoners. We had you baptized on a Saturday after 5:00 mass, because we wanted everyone that came in from out of town to be able to stay and celebrate for a while.
There was a visiting priest there saying mass. He was from Jamaica. You slept most of mass, until he decided that he wanted to announce your baptism, which was going to be held after mass, and introduce you to the entire congregation. You woke up when I brought you up front, but you stayed calm and didn’t cry at all. Good baby!!
Fr. Tom (Thomas Tank, yes that’s his real name), who is the pastor at Ascension, came back down from a retreat he was helping with to do your baptism. Aunt Kendra and Great-Uncle Steve are your godparents. It was so nice to have everyone there for you.
You wore the same baptismal gown that I did when I was baptized. I didn’t think you were going to be able to fit into it my little chunky monkey, but we squeezed you in. You looked so pretty!
You got a little fussy during the baptism, mostly because you were hungry, but you found your thumb and then all was good. You are obsessed with sucking your thumb. You love it more than anything…well maybe about as much as you love ceiling fans. More about that later.
After mass and the baptism we came home and had dinner and cake, and then played some games. You did great, although you really aren’t a fan of large groups of people. You’d rather it just be you, Mommy, and Daddy. We are so glad that you are now baptized into the faith. We love you oh-so-much sweet princess.
Love, Mama
