Baptism

While we were in NC, Father Barry offered to do Madeline's Christening right at the Bell house. It was very personal and sweet and Madeline got to wear the gown that her great great grandmother (Dave's mother's mother's mother) made in 1907. It was gorgeous. Look how she holds her hands again - I just can't get over how precious this is.

Good long shot of the gown

With Dad and Aunt Adelaide getting dressed.

All the newly baptized babies in Fr. Barry's parish get little lambs. As you can see, Madeline was in a great mood during the occasion, which isn't surprising since we know she loves to get her hair wet.

Except, by the time this picture was taken, she'd kind of had it...
