Emmy’s Baptism & Half Birthday

It’s hard to believe our little pumpkin is 6 months old. Just before her half birthday on November 9th, Emmy was baptized at our church, All Saints Episcopal. Junebug doesn’t do very well sitting through an hour-long service, and even managed to fit in a smelly surprise just as the service began. But I’ll say she did do beautifully as Rev’d Geoffrey Hoare showered her little noggin with holy water. No screams from our little one.

We were joined at the church by close friends and family to witness the sacred moment. We know that Mackensy, Heidi and Evan will make wonderful godparents.

Following the service, everyone joined us back at the house for a get-together and lunch. It meant so much to have everyone there. Playing the role of host, I managed to not take a single picture all weekend. So yes, I missed the chance to get a shot of Emmy’s first trip to the Georgia Aquarium, which she seemed to enjoy. And all of the wonderful photo opps with my dear cousin Carrie and her son Alex, in from Philly. And shots of my Mom-Mom (in from Florida) spending time with Emmy.

So I’m relying on friends’ and family’s shots (see below). And luckily, Sean Randall came and took some great shots of the family with little Em – the one black and white shot below is one that he took. The rest of the pics can be found on his website:
